Species

: p. 88), upper middle
Eocene
(Bartonian Stage), northwest of
Paris
,
France
.
Diagnosis—
Shell medium to large in size. Oval, sides inflated, rounded. Dorsum smooth. Spire of small to me- dium height and partially covered by successive whorls. Aperture wide. Anterior and posterior canals deep. Anterior end smooth, concave, and broad (
Jousseaume 1884
: p. 88).
Geologic Range—
Paleocene (herein) to Oligocene (
Lorenz, 2017
).
Remarks—
In the NEP region, a four-species lineage of
Bernaya
occurred and ranges from late Paleocene (Thanetian Stage) to the late early to early middle Eocene “Domengine Stage.”
