has been recovered from the Caldecott Tunnel. It shows the exterior of a right(?) valve that has been crushed but appears to show greater than 16 broadly rounded radial ribs with slightly narrower shallow interspaces and appears to be crossed by fine co-marginal growth lines. This specimen is about 8.7 mm long and 7.5 mm high.

(2002, 2009) reported two geologic units of questionable Pliocene age in the sea cliffs below More Mesa just south of UC Santa Barbara at Goleta, so Pliocene but no Miocene geologic units occur in the area.
