Hi, Everyone!

Does anyone know where I can get a copy of "Cenozoic giant pectinids from
California and the Tertiary Caribbean Province: Lyropecten, "Macrochlamis",
Vertipecten, and Nodipecten species,"  a U.S. Geological Survey publication (or
how I contact them for a copy)?   I am trying to determine whether Nodipecten
nodosus is an extant species.   I have been calling our non-fossil Lion's Paws
"Nodipecten fragosus."   But apparently nodosus was at least a fossil species.
Maybe Bret Raines or Carole Marshall can at least straighten me out as to
whether both fragosus and nodusus exist today and the differences between them.

Thanks!
Linda Bush

P.S.   I know the differences between fragosus and arthriticus, it's the
"nodosus" that is bothering me.
