DESCRIPTION

Small sized nautilus, maximum diameter 55 mm, the diameters of specimens 2023.PB.N117 (Fig. 3A1-A3) and 2023.PB.N130 are 52 and 54 mm respectively. Shell compressed on the last whorl with an oval section except on the body-chamber where the venter flattens. Height rapidly increasing. Juvenile whorls have a subrectangular section with flattened flanks except at the very end of the body-chamber where they are slightly inflated, boarding a closed umbilicus. The aperture is well preserved on 2023. PB.N117 (Fig. 3A1-A3) and is similar to that of Pseudaganides . Suture line ( Fig.4A View FIG ) has wide shallow lateral and ventral lobes. The siphuncle is small in diameter, located on the ventral half of the septa, at about one third of the median height of the whorl. On 2023.PB.N129, the two last septa of the phragmocone are approximated, indicating an adult stage. This specimen has also kept the muscle scar on its left side ( Fig. 13A View FIG ).

REMARKS

The cited specimens are similar to the examples published under the name Nautilus bradfordensis ( Crick, 1898) by Chirat (1997) from the Garantiana and Parkinsoni Zones that also belong to Upper Bajocian. The type specimen of Antaganides erycinus n. comb. is a little older and occured within the dark grey limestone formation (calcare grigio scuro) near Erice, Western Sicily, whose age is Lower Dogger according to Tagliarini (1901), equating to the Upper Aalenian and Lower Bajocian.
