Material examined
ALGERIA • 1 specimen; Mouydir , south of Oued Temertasset (locality MOU-C1); Argiles de Teguentour (Helicocyclus-Ouaoufilalites Assemblage; early late Tournaisian); Korn et al. 2002 Coll.; illustrated in Fig. 22 View Fig ; MB.C.30475 .
Description
Specimen MB.C.30475 is a chambered fragment with a diameter of 72 mm, heavily affected by desert polishing ( Fig. 22 View Fig ). Despite the erosion, the conch shape can still be recognised quite well; the conch is thickly discoidal and subevolute (ww/dm=0.54; uw/dm=0.25) with a depressed trapezoidal whorl profile (ww/wh=1.57). The whorls overlap each other slightly. The venter is concave in the middle and separated from the almost flat area of the flank and umbilical wall by two sharp ridges on the ventrolateral shoulder.
