Megaselachus13 Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Recently had found this snail. It belongs to the Lower Pliocene of Spanish SE. Would welcome a classification or approximation to genre. Thanks in advance. Greetings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommabetts Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Look up this and see if it is not it. "Cirsotrema" order Mesogastropoda, family Epitoniidae, common or informal name Wentletrap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Look up this and see if it is not it. "Cirsotrema" order Mesogastropoda, family Epitoniidae, common or informal name Wentletrap. WOW! I think you've nailed it! OK, I'm impressed...

Megaselachus13 Posted November 21, 2008 Author Share Posted November 21, 2008 Amazing!. That's a true fast classification!. The truth is that I had not occurred that were of the same gender that C. retusa that MOROPUS helped me to classify a few weeks ago. They are so different that it is difficult to imagine. Many thanks for the help Mommabetts. Greetings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOROPUS Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Look up this and see if it is not it. "Cirsotrema" order Mesogastropoda, family Epitoniidae, common or informal name Wentletrap. I agree with Cirsotrema, and according to Gomez Alba (you know-" the man-the book")I would say C.Pumiceum, extinct in Europe during Pliocene (living actually on tropical seas) A very impressive conch indeed! I`ve already got one of those shells in my collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
