Diagnosis
Danoceras with compressed elliptical to oval conch cross section (CHI = 1.3–1.4); mature body chamber with maximum conch height near its base with height of ca 42 mm; apical angle of the phragmocone ca 25°; conch surface, with distinct constriction near peristome and amphora-like apertural opening.
Material examined
ESTONIA • 1 spec.; Haapsalu holm; Adila Formation, Pirgu Regional Stage; GIT 426-988 View Materials .
Type locality and horizon
Vestre Svartøy, Ringerike, Norway; Bønsnes Formation, late Katian.
Description
The specimen is a slightly deformed fragment of a phragmocone and the mature body chamber. The maximum conch height of the specimen (41 mm) is at the base of the body chamber. There, the conch width is 30 mm (CHI = 1.37). The preserved part of the body chamber is 27 mm long.
The phragmocone increases in conch height from 23 mm to 40 mm at a length of 38 mm (angle of expansion 25°). At the adoral end of the phragmocone, the chamber length is 6 mm (RCL = 0.15). Traces of a weak longitudinal striation are preserved on the surface of the internal cast of the phragmocone. The conch surface is not preserved. The conch is very slightly curved with a thin (ca 3 mm in diameter) siphuncle preserved near the conch margin at the convex side of the conch curvature.
Remarks
This specimen is very similar in dimensions and conch shape to the types of Danoceras breve and although details of the siphuncle are not examined, the thin marginal siphuncle is indicative of a species of Danoceras .
