Abstract
In 1939, Lefébure & Chenevière described the Cretaceous fossil species Kittonia hannae Lefébure & Chenevière (1939: 23 pl. 1, fig. 3, see Sims & Williams 2022: fig. 8). The specimen figured was from the Moreno Shale deposit, California, USA, supplied by Dallas Hanna (1887–1970): “Moreno shale, Moreno Gulch in the Panoche Hills, Fresno County, California” […] “Sec. 6, T. 15 S., R. 12 E., M.D.B. & M., Fresno County, California” (Hanna 1934: 352, see also Hanna in Long et al. 1946: 91, Hanna 1927, Rampi 1940, Goudkoff 1945). Other specimens of Kittonia hannae were from another Moreno Shale exposure, “Sec. 24, T. 14, S., R. 11 E., Fresno County, California” (Hanna in Long et al. 1946: 93, Brigger & Hanna 1965: 4). A detailed discussion of the Moreno deposit can be found in Hanna (1927: 10), Long et al. (1946), Nikolaev et al. (2001) and Davies et al. (2012), and a review of the genus Kittonia was undertaken by Brigger & Hanna (1965).
