Vetigastropoda gen. et sp. indet.

Plate 5: figs 12–15

Material.

1 specimen, SNSB – BSPG 2016 XXI 1758 .

Description.

Shell broadly trochiform, 22 mm high; whorls low, angulated somewhat above abapical suture; edge covered with numerous nodules, possibly representing base of hollow spines; two weak subsutural spiral cords without nodes appear on last whorl; whorl face straight and without sculpture between basal edge and abapical spiral cord; nodular basal edge emerges at suture; base flat, concave in center; transition from whorl face to base angular; base without visible ornament; aperture not preserved.

Remarks.

This specimen resembles the Triassic genera Ampezzalina Bandel, 1993 and Bandelastraea Nützel & Kaim, 2014 (see Karapunar and Nützel 2021, figs 78, 79) but its preservation is too poor for identification.
