«Left valve small, thin, flat with a slight depression at the beak; shape ovate, as high as broad; ribs about 20 to 22 in number, low and separated by flat interspaces, about twice as wide as the ribs; ribs becoming obsolete on the anterior submargin (and probably also on the posterior) and are here replaced by a rather prominent ridge; ribs and interspaces at first crossed by concentric lamellose lines, which also pass over the submargins and onto the ears; these concentric lines are equally spaced and the lamellae appear to have been originally roof-like, passing from one line to the other; this concentric sculpture is developed for a time and then suddenly ceases, the remainder of the shell having only the ribs; interior of shell smooth, lirated by the ribs.
Height 26, apparent width 29 mm. The above description is based on two imperfect left valves. Both are from Kingsmill, Virginia. On the smaller shell, the concentric lines cover the entire shell. On the larger this sculpture is lacking from the basal part, having disappeared suddenly at a time when the shell had reached the same size as the smaller shell. Yorktown formation; Kingsmill, Va.» AXEL ADOLPH OLSSON, 1914

«Calcitic associates of Carolinapecten murdockensis murdockensis include Chesapecten middlesexensis hunterae, broad-ribbed Ecphora in the E. gardnerae complex, the non-auriculate oyster, Mansfieldostrea compressirostra brucei, and the pectinid Euvola smithi, all regarded as indicators of late Miocene (Tortonian) age.»
