Order Pterioida Newell 1965
Family Myalinidae Frech 1891
Genus Septimyalina Newell 1942
The bivalve Septimyalina perattenuata has been a rare recovery so far. This single specimen is the only example from both localities. I can observe a columnar prismatic layer on this shell, which is hard to photograph using light.
