A new Cenozoic record of spinilomatine aporrhaids (Stromboidea, Caenogastropoda) in the early Paleocene of Faxe, Denmark

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: A new find is identified as a representative of the subfamily Spinilomatinae, viz. Spiniloma? faxensis sp. nov. The specimen was found as an impression in coral limestone of the early Paleocene (middle Danian) Faxe Formation in the Faxe quarry in Denmark. The genus Spiniloma was until now known exclusively from the Mesozoic of Europe. The new f ind extends the stratigraphic range of the genus into the early Paleocene. Furthermore, the gastropod fauna of the Faxe Formation is dominated by gastropods with a preference for hard substrates, while soft- substrate genera like Spiniloma are extremely rare.
