These bivalves which is previously thought as Daonella, now identified as Claraia. They are two species occur here i.e. Claraia stachei and C. kilenensis, both typical for Induan, Lower Triassic. It is interesting to know that the rock sequence in QZ480 yields Triassic fossils range from Lower (Induan) to Middle Triassic (Anisian).

"TAXONOMY IS OFTEN UNDERVALUE AS A GLORIFIED FORM OF FILLING WITH EACH SPECIES IN ITS FOLDER, LIKE A STAMP IN ITS PRESCRIBED PLACE IN AN ALBUM; BUT TAXONOMY IS A FUNDAMENTAL AND DYNAMIC SCIENCE, DEDICATED TO EXPLORING THE CAUSES OF RELATIONSHIPS AND SIMILARITIES AMONG ORGANISMS." - S.J. GOULD 1990.
I am a paleontologist. Currently working on Triassic fossils in Malaysia with a heavy emphasis on ammonoids, bivalves and plant fossils -just for hobby. Love to spend more time in the field hunting for fossil. -TRIASSIC WORKER
