Genus
Triassurella
Nützel and Geiger, 2006
Type
species:
Triassurella carnica
Nützel and Geiger, 2006
(by original designation), from the Late Triassic Cassian Formation in the Italian Alps.
Remarks:
Although
Nützel and Geiger (2006
, p. 281) noted that the asymmetrical limpet shape with strong expansion rate as seen in
Triassurella
,
Sutilizona
and
Temnocinclis
is exclusively found in deep-sea families today, they placed
Triassurella
in the
Scissurellidae
. It is transferred here to the
Sutilizonidae
based on the strong similarities between
Triassurella goederti
n. sp.
and
Sutilizona theca
McLean, 1989
.
