Editor's comment The original combinations Serpula quadrangularis Lamarck is a Fossil, and regarded as such by all older authors. In 1914, Fauvel compared some of his Recent serpulid tubes from the Azores with Fossil material of S. quadrangularis from the Callovien de Souligné-sous-Vallon (Sarthe) in the Geological Laboratory Angers. He mentioned a likeliness with tubes of Spirodiscus (nowadays Nogrobs). This led Hartman & Fauchald (1971: 184) to the statement that some of their Recent serpulid tubes from the deep Atlantic "agree fully with Serpula quadrangularis Fauvel (1914, p. 339, pl.290)". These Recent tubes of Fauvel and H&F indeed may belong to an as yet undescribed species of the genus Nogrobs. [details]
