From editor or global species database
Editor's comment Serpula quadrangularis Lamarck is a Fossil, and regarded as such by all older authors. In 1914, Fauvel compared some of his Recent serpulid tubes from the Azores with Fossil material of S. quadrangularis from the Callovien de Souligné-sous-Vallon (Sarthe) in the Geological Laboratory Angers. He mentioned a likeliness with tubes of Spirodiscus. This led Hartman & Fauchald (1971: 184) to the statement that some of their Recent serpulid tubes from the deep Atlantic "agree fully with Serpula quadrangularis Fauvel (1914, p. 339, pl.290)". These Recent tubes of H&F in the meantime have been recognized as Bathyditrupa hovei Kupriyanova, 1993. [details]Type locality Le Mans (mid France), Séez (Alps), Normandy [details]
