Molluscan fossils including Crenomytilus grayanus (Dunker) and Chlamys itoigawae Masuda were collected from the locality of the “Paleoparadoxiid Mizunami-Kamado specimen” in Kamado-cho, Mizunami City, Gifu Prefecture, central Japan. The specimen of Mytilus coruscus Gould reported by Itoigawa et al. (1974, 1981, 1982) and Taguchi (2002) are reexamined, and these specimens are referable to C. grayanus by having fine radial striae on the shell exterior, fine crenulations on the interior shell margin and a non-vacuolated psedonymph.
