Abstract: Celeroliroceras sp. Fig. 44; Table 26 Material examined IRAN – West Azerbaijan • 1 specimen; Aras Valley; Vedioceras Beds of the Julfa Formation (late Wuchiapingian); 2011; Korn et al. leg.; illustrated in Fig. 44; MB.C.32071. Description Specimen MB.C.32071 is a fragment of a juvenile specimen with a conch diameter of 35 mm (Fig. 44A). It shows a thickly pachyconic, involute conch (ww/dm =0.82; uw/dm=0.12) with a weakly depressed oval whorl profile (ww/wh= 1.43). The coiling rate is extraordinarily high (WER= 3.35). Remarks The specimen is too poorly preserved for a more detailed description. Because of the conch geometry and the extraordinarily high coiling rate, it probably belongs to Celeroliroceras gen. nov.
