There is some confusion concerning the nomenclature (the naming) of this extinct taxon. The species was formerly known as Neptunea contraria. This is, however, the name of a modern extant species, and therefore the two names are not synonyms. This has been clarified by Nelson & Pain, 1986.[1]

gollark: In the recipe dump I have, though, there's multiple recipes per thing and recipes can have different items in their inputs, which is problematic.
gollark: Wow. That's surpisingly short.
gollark: There might be cyclic recipes? I'll have to check somehow.
