Material

Five specimens from the Wunstorf Wu2010/1 core.

Remarks

The known stratigraphic range of this species spans from the Turonian to the Eocene ( Kaminski and Gradstein, 2005), Weidich (1990) reported it from the Berriasian to the Cenomanian from the northern Calcareous Alps, while Kaminski et al. (1992) cited a similar form from the Lower Cretaceous of the Indian Ocean.

Occurrence

Very rare in the uppermost Albian and lowermost Cenomanian of Wunstorf.
