Teretia cincta


Teretia cincta is an extinct species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Raphitomidae.

Description

The length of the shell attains 10.6 mm, its diameter 5 mm.
This species is very similar to Teretia anceps, but it must be distinguished by a less delicate shape, because the whorls are shorter and therefore relatively wider. The cinguli are thinner and more protruding. The interstices are much wider.

Distribution

Fossils of this marine species were found in Pliocene strata in Calabria, Italy
