Description

Olivella cf. longispira Bellardi, 1882

Fig. 7E–F

Olivella longispira Bellardi, 1882: 221, pl. 12 fig. 37.

Material examined

ITALY – Emilia-Romagna • 1 spec.; Guzzano; MGGC 22311 (H = 11.8 mm). – Tuscany • 1 spec.; Le Colline; MSF 1202 (H = 13.4 mm).

Remarks

Although the base of the aperture is not preserved in either of the two available specimens, they are here assigned to Olivella longispira due to their slender shells with a tall spire. This species was originally described from the Middle Miocene of the Turin hills, where it reaches 20 mm in height (Bellardi 1882).

Stratigraphic and geographic range

Lower to Middle Miocene, northern Italy.

Family Turridae Adams & Adams, 1853
