Susana,

Thanks … Sergio Martinez (in Uruguay) mentioned earlier this morning that you had sent the information.. but I hadn’t seen it yet.. strange things happening in cyberspace…

 Dear Mike,

Here is an example from the Tertiary of Argentina, with a good bibliographic review on the subject (quite a few references on pearls related to Cretaceous inoceramids up to 1937!)

Frenguelli, J. 1937. Sobre una perla fósil del Aonikense de Punta Norte en la Península de Valdez (Chubut). Notas del Museo de La Plata (n.s.) II, Paleontología 11: 155-162. La Plata.

Best wishes,

 

Susana
