CURRENT FAMILY LISTING FOR PPP DATABASE
Current listing of families of molluscs currently represented in the PPP database (largely
Neogene of Caribbean Panama). Classification derived from Haszprunar, 1988; Ponder &
Warén, 1988; Vaught, 1989; Bieler, 1992; Tracey et. al., 1993 (gastropods); Vaught, 1989
(scaphopods) and Cardter, 1990; Skelton & Benton, 1993 (bivalves) and subsequent
revisions. Chitons and nautilids are represented by very few specimens and taxa and are
not included here.
