Occurrence.
Top Højerup Member of the Maastrichtian Tor Formation at Rødvig, Højerup, Holtug Quarry and north of Harvig Stige at Stevns Klint,
Denmark
.
Description.
Protoconch smooth with deep sutures and a moderately high spire with two or three whorls. Teleoconch whorls broadly convex, angular with strong and sharp spiral cords, three of which form a wide obsolete keel; collabral threads or ridges very faint on older whorls, becoming more pronounced on later whorls. Upper suture situated between second and third keel rib of preceding whorl. Base and aperture unknown.
Measurements.
Largest shell approximately
6.5 mm
wide and
4.8 mm
high.
Remarks.
This taxon differs from
S. ladrierei
(
Briart & Cornet, 1887
)
and
S. multilineata
(
Briart & Cornet, 1887
)
from the Danian of
Belgium
by the more angular whorls with their coarser spiral cords and by the presence of distinct collabral ribs. It is distinguished from
S. vincenti
Cossmann, 1915
by the larger number of spiral ribs and less stepped spire and from
S. briarti
(Vincent
in
Cossmann 1915
)
, also from the Danian of
Belgium
, by the more keeled outline of the whorl with its stronger collabral threads.
