PEREZ, Leandro M; GRIFFIN, Miguel  and  GENTE ITURRERIA, Santiago F. Pectinids from the Paraná Formation (Miocene) Entre Ríos - Argentina. Ser. correl. geol. [online]. 2011, vol.27, n.1, pp.66-75. ISSN 1666-9479.

The three species of pectinids (Bivalvia: Pectinidae) from the Paraná Formation (Miocene) in the province of Ente Ríos are described. These are Aequipecten paranensis (d'Orbigny, 1842), Amusium darwinianum (d'Orbigny, 1842) and Flabellipecten oblongus (Philippi, 1893). Localities are listed and the importance of these bivalves in the determination of the paleoenvironmental conditions under which the bearing unit was deposited is assessed.

Keywords : Pectinids; Paraná Formation; Miocene; Entre Ríos.
