Description
Turricula sp.
Fig. 7H–I
Turricula sp. – Sami & Tabanelli 2013: 17–18, fig. 1.
Material examinedITALY – Emilia-Romagna • 1 spec.; Ca’ Piantè; MSF 1081 (H = 32.4 mm).
DescriptionTall, slender, fusiform shell, at least seven whorls with strong subsutural collar and incision, sinus in growth lines within this incision; about 8–10 thick axial ribs per whorl, starting below subsutural incision, crossed by four fine, evenly spaced spiral cords; aperture elongate lens-shaped with long, straight siphonal canal, inner lip callus-covered; transition from flank of last whorl to base sinuous and smooth, axial ribs fade on base, spiral sculpture of last whorl continuous onto base.
RemarksSami & Tabanelli (2013) noted that this specimen is quite similar to the Miocene Surcula consobrina Bellardi, 1877. The syntype of Surcula consobrina (Bellardi 1877) illustrated by Ferrero Mortara et al. (1981: 65, pl. 10 fig. 2) and specimens identified as Turricula (Surcula) consobrina (Bellardi, 1877) from the Middle Miocene of Poland (Bałuk 2003: pl. 14 fig. 3) have weaker and more numerous spiral cords, and a shorter siphonal canal than the specimen reported here. Clavatula (Surcula) consobrina badensis from the Middle Miocene of Hungary (Csepreghy-Meznerics 1953) has a shorter siphonal canal.
Stratigraphic and geographic rangeUpper Miocene, northern Italy.
