Crassispira (Ceritoturris) Dall, 1924 (original rank) | |
Ceritoturris is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Horaiclavidae.[1]
It was previously included within the subfamily Crassispirinae, family Turridae.[1]
Fossils of Ceritoturris fecunda Lozouet, 1999 have been found in Miocene strata of Germany ; age range: 15.97 to 11.608 Ma.[2] and late Oligocene strata in the Aquitaine Basin[3]
Description
The minute shell has a blunt protoconch. The second whorl shows a peripheral keel. The seven subsequent whorls are moderately rounded, axially and spirally sculptured. The siphonal canal is almost obsolete.[4]
