Abstract
A new genus and species, Patriciapecten iona, are described in the subfamily Chlamydinae (Mollusca: Bivalvia: Pectinidae). Patriciapecten is characterized by a shell with commarginal ledges giving an undulating surface, strong radial ribs, and no intermediate hinge teeth. The type locality is the Lee Creek Mine operated by the Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan (formerly Texasgulf, Inc.) near Aurora, Beaufort County, North Carolina, where the specimen was collected in a spoil pile. This site, which is primarily upper Cenozoic, ranges from the Miocene Period through the Holocene Epoch.
