Abstract

Type material for 16 nominal species of
fossil Coleoidea, Monoplacophora and
Scaphopoda are in the Invertebrate
Paleontology Collections of Yale University’s
Peabody Museum of Natural History.
Primary types for 6 nominal species include
4 holotypes, and 4 syntypes (representing 2
nominal species). Secondary types for 2
nominal species include 2 paratypes.
Tertiary types for 6 nominal species include
19 hypotypes. Most types are from New
York, Nova Scotia, Oklahoma and South
Dakota and have been described by J.S.
Peel, P.E. Raymond, L.W. Stephenson and
K.M. Waage.

A Type Catalog of Fossil Invertebrates
(Mollusca: Coleoidea,
Monoplacophora and Scaphopoda)

in the Yale Peabody Museum

Russell D. White

Introduction

This catalog lists all known fossil coleoid,
monoplacophoran and scaphopod types in
the Invertebrate Paleontology Collections
housed in Yale University’s Peabody
Museum of Natural History. This is the
eighth in a series of type catalogs of fossil
invertebrates and is a product of an ongoing
computerization project to improve the
accessibility of the type collections.

Organization

Specimens are listed under the originally
described binomen; genera and species
within genera are indexed alphabetically.
Each entry includes the catalog number
used by the Division of Invertebrate
Paleontology prefixed with the abbreviation
YPM and the type status of the original
designation, followed by all known refer-
ences to that name. Any subsequent
designations are listed under the original
designation and are cross-referenced in the
body of the text. Locality descriptions follow
each entry or set of entries for each
binomen. Errors and inconsistencies are
footnoted at the bottom of each binomen.
The type designations used are holotype
and syntype for name bearers; paratype for
secondary types; hypotype for all tertiary
types. Name bearers and secondary types
are defined as used in the /nternational
Code of Zoological Nomenciature (ICZN,
1985). Tertiary types or hypotypes are
treated here as any described, figured or
measured specimen used in a publication to
augment the knowledge of a previously

2 Type Catalog of
Fossil Coleoidea et al.

defined species, or any referred specimen
that cannot be placed unequivocally ina
known species (e.g. Dentalium sp.).
Locality descriptions follow each entry or
set of entries with identical locality data. The
locality information includes the stratigra-
phy, geography, collector and date.
Stratigraphy has been standardized using
Stratigraphic Nomenclature Databases for
the United States, its Possessions and
Territories (MacLachlan et al. 1992).
