Abstract

Seven species of balanomorph cirripedes are recorded from the Miocene to Pleistocene succession exposed in a phosphate mine in North Carolina; although collected loose, most probably originated from the Pliocene Yorktown Formation. Four of the species belong to the balanid subfamily Concavinae, i.e., Chesaconcavus proteus (Conrad, 1834), Arossia aurae Zullo, 1992, Paraconcavus talquinensis (Wiesbord, 1966), P. cf. prebrevicalcar (Ross, 1964), and one to the subfamily Amphibalaninae, i.e., Fistulobalanus multiseptatus (Ross, 1964). A chelonibiid (turtle barnacle), Protochelonibia collaretai sp. nov. is new, and the living balanine Balanus
calidus (Pilsbry, 1916) is recorded from the Pleistocene (Calabrian) James River Formation.
