Harold John Finlay
Harold John Finlay (22 March 1901 – 7 April 1951) was a New Zealand palaeontologist and conchologist. Biography Finlay was born in Comilla, India (now Bangladesh), on 22 March 1901, to a family of Baptist missionaries. He was left a paraplegic after contracting poliomyelitis at the age of four, but was able to participate in field excursions. The family moved to Dunedin in 1906. He graduated from the University of Otago with B.Sc. and M.Sc. He received the Hamilton Memorial Prize of the New Zealand Institute in 1926 and a D.Sc. in 1927. His main research interest was marine and non-marine malacofauna of New Zealand, both recent and fossil. Much of his work focused on mollusc taxonomy and biostratigraphy. After graduation, Finlay ran into financial hardship, living off of research grants, and occasional work as a contract consultant for oil exploration companies. Finlay was appointed to the Geological Survey of New Zealand in 1937, where he worked a micropaleontologist st ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Munditia Mayana
''Munditia mayana'', common name May's munditia, is a species of small sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk, in the family Liotiidae.Marshall, B. (2013). ''Munditia mayana'' (Tate, 1899). Retrieved through: World Register of Marine Species at http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=719265 on 2013-08-29 Description The size of the shell varies between 4 mm and 8 mm. (Original description) In size and general appearance, this species resembles ''Liotia subquadrata''. However, the suture is not excavated, the aperture is not so explanulately thickened, and its columella-margin is detached from the umbilical rim. Its affinity is, however, greater with ''Liotia clathrata''. ''Liotia clathrata'' has three lirae of equal size on the periphery instead of them gradually diminishing in strength from above downwards. Additionally, its ribs are more elevated, imbricating, and closer. In ''Munditia mayana'', the body whorl is more rounded, and the keels are less ...

The discoid shellcontains three and a half whorls. The body whorl is angulated by the uppermost of three prominent spiral keels, which are crossed by about twenty well-defined transverse ridges, causing distinct serration of the keel, from an apical aspect.
