Granaria View in CoL sp.

( Fig. 23)

Material examined. BSPG 1952 VIII 46 (1 spcm.), 47 (2 spcm.).

Description. Shell small, with acuminated spire top. Protoconch (1½ whorl) narrow, rounded, smooth; transition to teleoconch unclear. Whorl profile convex. Suture deep. Teleoconch sculptured by regularly distributed, very fine prosocline ribs; distance between ribs approximately twice rib width.

Previous identification of the material. Gall (1980: Nr. 31): Cochlostoma sp.

Discussion. Only spire fragments remain and thus a more precise identification is not possible. The regular whorl growth and the fine, straight and regular ribs indicate the genus Granaria ( Höltke & Rasser 2013) . Moreover, the present specimens are indistinguishable from the Granaria sp. described from the Middle Miocene (MN 5) of Sandelzhausen, southeastern Germany ( Salvador 2014).

Paleoecological remarks. Recent Granaria species prefer dry and open habitats, usually calcareous (Welter- Schultes 2012).
