Gill, FL and Little, CTS (2013) A new genus of lucinid bivalve from hydrocarbon seeps. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 58 (3). 573 - 578. ISSN 0567-7920
Abstract
We erect a new genus, Elongatolucina, for distinctive large, elongate lucinid bivalve specimens from Miocene sediments from Venezuela. We interpret Elongatolucina to have had a chemosymbiotic mode of life and it may have been seep−re− stricted. Cryptolucina elassodyseides from Eocene hydrocar− bon seep sites in Washington State, USA is incorporated in Elongatolucina.
