Paleonet: Ostreidae: Rastellum and Arctostrea

[Harry Lee]

Dear communicants,

As a neontologist, I've been put to the test in documenting two 
genus-level nomina in the Ostreidae. /Rastellum/ and /Arctostrea/ appear 
to be extinct Cretaceous taxa, to which species like /Ostrea carinata/ 
Lamarck, 1806 [non Schröter, 1802] and /O. colubrina/ Lamarck, 1819 have 
been assigned.

I'd like to pin down the original descriptions and type species of these 
two entities. I've tried to get the www to cough up this info, but it 
won't comply. I suspect the answer may be somewhere in /Treatise on 
Invertebrate paleontology, Part N, /but my hardcopy was destroyed by a 
flood ten years ago.

Can anyone give me a hand here?

Thanks in advance,
Harry
