New finds of the mollusks Nemrac carmenensis Clark 1946 (Gastropoda, Turbinoidea, Turbinidae) and Solena (Eosolen) bolivarensis Clark 1946 (Bivalvia - Solenida - Solenidae): stratigraphic and paleoenvironmental precisions for the late Eocene faunas...

Abstract
New specimens of the gastropod Nemrac carmenensis Clark 1946 and the bivalve Solena (Eosolen) bolivarensis Clark 1946, in Paleogene rocks of San Jacinto Fold Belt (SJFB), Colombian Caribbean region were found and reported to complement the information available for these species. These findings of unique specimens had only been collected during the first half of the last century. This discovery allows to define the stratigraphic position of these and other faunas previously found in the Eocene of the Colombian Caribbean region at the upper levels of Arroyo Seco Formation, allowing the assignment of a Late Eocene age (Bartonian – Priabonian) and a delta-front environment.
