Zygopleura View in CoL ? sp.
( Figs 31–33 View Figs 31–59 )
Material – Two damaged specimens, a single whorl fragment, and a longer shell part with poorly preserved last whorl are available on the same rock surface. The protoconch, the early teleoconch and the peristomal regions are lacking. The remnants are probably outer casts.
Measurements – Inv. No.: BHU 2020I 7; H dam. = 6.7 mm.
Description – The shell is turriculate with convex whorls that are separated by slightly impressed suture. A narrow, flush belt of the whorls accompanies the suture abapically but the adapical side is convex. The complete shell seems to reach fifteen or more whorls length.
Clearly opisthocline and barely parasigmoidal, suture-to-suture ribs of periodical repetition ornament the shell. No other ornament, neither growth lines are visible.
Remarks – Amongst the zygopleurid genera, this kind of teleoconch ornament may appear in different growth phases; less damaged specimens are needed to precise identification.
Occurrence – Jhura Dome, Chari Formation, Callovian.
