The fauna is dominated by the large, globular lucinid bivalve, Meganodontia sp. nov., reaching 124 mm in width, and by an elongate bathymodio-lin mussel, Gigantidas sp. nov., reaching 87 mm in length. Further taxa include the small but abundant lucinid Cardiolucina aff. quadrata (Prashad, 1932) and the small vesicomyid bivalve Isorropodon sp.; rare are the lucinid Lucinoma sp., a possible thyasirid bivalve, and the gastropods Bathybembix (Calliostomatidae), Naticarius (Naticidae), Profundinassa (Nassariidae) and a possible turrid. Geologic setting and the bathymetric ranges of extant representatives of these taxa indicate that the fauna lived at an upper bathyal depth of around 400–500 m. Biogeographically, the fauna shows close affinities to Recent tropical Westpacific seep faunas. In contrast to the predominantly flat to moderately inflated lucinid bivalves at Jurassic to Paleogene seeps, we note that strongly inflated, globular lucinids such as Meganodontia and Cardiolucina started to appear at seeps only from the Miocene onward.
