A non-planktotrophic haloceratid (Gastropoda) from the Meteor seamount group, central North Atlantic

A small species found in three seamounts of the Meteor group (Great Meteor, Hyères and Irving) is described in the genus Haloceras, although the generic placement is tentative. It is strikingly different from all known North Atlantic gastropods but is compared to distantly similar species of Haloceras, one fossil from the European Pliocene and others Recent or fossil from the Indo-Pacific region.
