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. He was left a paraplegic after contracting poliomyelitis at the age of four, but waas able to participate in field excursions. 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. He also specialised on fossil Foraminifera. After a long period of unemployment, Finlay was appointed to the Geological Survey of New Zealand in 1937, and in the same year he married Jean Dorothy Waterson Gillies. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of New Zealand in 1939, and was awarded the scoiety's Hector Memorial Medal in 1941. Finlay died, unexpectedly, at his home in Wellington on 7 April 1951. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Comitas Crenularoides
''Comitas crenularoides'' is an extinct species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Pseudomelatomidae, the turrids and allies. Description The length of the shell attains 24 mm (without embryonic whorls), its diameter 8 mm. (Original description) The shell is moderately large and narrow-elongate. The spire is many-whorled and longer than the aperture and the siphonal canal. The whorls are nodulosely costate, with a rather well marked subsutural concavity. The sinus in this region is well-defined, moderately broad and deep. The siphonal canal is rather short and straight. The apical angle is about twenty-five degrees. The embryonic whorls of the holotype are unfortunately missing. The spire consists of about eight convex whorls with the greatest convexity about the middle of each whorl. The posterior third of each whorl is rather deeply concave immediately under the suture, which gives the appearance to this part of the shell of rather a strong ov ...

Comitas Clarae
''Comitas clarae'' is an extinct species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Pseudomelatomidae. Description Dimensions: length 17.5 mm; breadth 6 mm length of the aperture 9 mm. (Original description) The shell is elongate, fusiform, and thin. The posterior part of the spire is ribbed, anteriorly the ribs become obsolete. The shoulder of body whorl is obtusely angulate. The entire external surface of the whorls is covered with small, closely-set spiral lirae. The aperture is broad. The broad sinus is situated near the suture. This fossil must be mainly distinguished by the absence of any sculpture. The upper part of the spire is ribbed and in the lower whorls, these ribs become obsolete. The periphery of the last whorl is obtusely angular and the whole shell is covered spirally with close fine thread-like lirce. The aperture is broad and the sinus wide, deep, and conspicuous. A peculiarity in this shell is that the lines of growth scarcely show at all. D ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
