Exelissa aff. strangulata (d’Archiac, 1840) View in CoL
( Figs 60 A–E, 61–63 View Figs 60–66 )
aff. 1843 Cerithium strangulatum d’ Archiac – p. 382, Pl. 31, Fig. 4 View Figs 1–16 .
aff. 1913 Exelissa strangulata (d’Archiac, 1840) – COSSMANN, p. 116, pl. 5, Figs 42–45 View Figs 31–59 .
Material – Five poorly preserved specimens are available on a naturally prepared rock surface; they seem to be outer casts of shells.
Measurements – Inv. No.: BHU 2020I 300 (B in Fig. 60 View Figs 60–66 ); H dam. = 8.4 mm; Inv. No.: BHU 2020I 301(D in Fig. 60 View Figs 60–66 ); H dam. = 7.4 mm; Inv. No.: BHU 2020I 302 (F in Fig. 60 View Figs 60–66 ); H dam. = 10.6 mm.
Description – The specimens are rather high and consist of an acute early teleoconch, followed by cylindroconoidal later shell parts. Last whorl is downward and adaxially inclined. In latest growth phase, parietal and columellar lips are detached from the base and grown leftward beyond shell axis. Sparse, orthocline and straight, suture to suture ribs (six ±1) give the transverse ornament; no trace of spiral ornament can be observed on the shells, neither growth lines are visible.
Remarks – The appearance of the shells are reminiscent of the type species and to Exelissa ? sp. (see below). However, the specimens of Exelissa aff. strangulata are slenderer with suture to suture ribs that are more marked than in E. strangulata , and seemingly lack any kind of spiral ornament. These differences could be specific distinctive characters but shells are necessary for a more reliable identification.
Occurrence – Khadir Island, Ghadada Formation, Lower Callovian
