Discussion.
Only few
Oxymeris
specimens from the Eggenburgian have been described so far. These specimens are poorly preserved but agree well with
Oxymeris plicaria
(de
Basterot, 1825
)
from its
type
region in size and general shape.
Paleoenvironment.
Shallow marine, inner neritic (own data, M.H.).
Distribution in Central Paratethys.
Eggenburgian (Early Miocene):
North-Alpine Foreland Basin
: Loibersdorf (
Austria
) (
Schaffer 1912
);
Petroşeni Basin
: CoruŞ (
Romania
) (
Răileanu & Negulescu 1964
).
