«Rare in the Pliocene of the Caloosahatchie marls, Florida, Dall; dredged, with other fossils, off Cape Fear, North Carolina, in fifteen fathoms by the United States Fish Commission.
Shell much of the size and form of P. medius Lam., but with twenty-one or twenty-two strong ribs; dichotomous in the right valve but rounded and simple in the left, with three or four finer threads on the submargins; interspaces on the right valve smaller than the squarish ribs, on the left subequal; right valve with subequal ears, each with three or four strong, rounded riblets; notch shallow; ears of the left valve concave, two-ribbed, with less pronounced sculpture; surface of both valves covered with close-set, concentric, elevated lines; interior fluted, crura moderately developed. Alt. 42, lat. 47, diam. 13 mm. This neat little species differs from P. medius in its coarser sculpture, and from the young of P. hemicyclicus by its more numerous ribs and details of surface.» WILLIAM HEALEY DALL, 1889

«Extant species of Euvola are more numerous in the tropical western Atlantic and Caribbean than in the eastern Pacific. A coarsely ribbed species, E. raveneli (Dall, 1898), occurs from about Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, southward throughout the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean to Guyana and Surinam but is apparently most common in the Gulf of Mexico. Depths range from 9 to 200 m.»

«Recent shells called Pecten raveneli resemble P. ziczac and P. hemicyclicus in the shallow convexity of the right valve, but the Recent P. raveneli averages 25 ribs in contrast to about 20 ribs for P. hemicyclicus. The holotype of P. raveneli is a fossil from the "Caloosahatchee marls." Dall's figure (Dall, 1898, pl. 29, fig. 10) shows a substantially more convex shell, especially in the early growth. Fossil specimens of P. raveneli average 21 to 22 ribs. The Recent "P. raveneli" seems to be unnamed It is being studied by Thomas Waller of the Smithsonian Institution.»

«Holotype, a right valve: U. S. Nat. Mus. 107750.
Type locality: Pliocene of the Caloosahatchee River, Fla. The right valve of Pecten raveneli Dall is very much inflated, the left valve slightly concave. The species is represented in the area under consideration by a single adult right valve and a valve of a young form. The dichotomous ribs, the small, squarish auricles, and the delicate concentric sculpturing are, however, sufficient to characterize it. Distribution: North Carolina: Miocene, Duplin marl, Fairmont, Robeson County. The species is represented by a single valve.
Outside distribution: Pliocene, Caloosahatchee marl, Caloosahatchee River, Fla. (?) Recent, dredged off Cape Fear with other fossil species in 15 fathoms. Johnson, 1934, reports the species from North Carolina to the West Indies.» GARDNER, J. 1943. Mollusca from the Miocene and lower Pliocene of Virginia and North Carolina. Part 1. Pelecypoda.

«Perhaps it would be more nearly accurate to describe the ribs of the holotype, a right valve, as sulcate, or having tripartite marking. Only one rib is really dichotomous, and on another the sulcus extends to the umbonal region. Sulci extend in from the ventral margin about 10 mm. Submargins very narrow; threaded with fine, obsolete radials. A left valve from the same locality has 21 ribs and no intercostals.
