º
.
Remarks.
This small, high-spired, cyrtoconoid, shell has a straight whorl face that is ornamented by slightly opisthocline axial ribs, forming node-like extensions situated immediately adjacent to the adapical suture. The whorls are low as is typical for the genus
Palaeoestylus
. Similar shells do also occur in the genera
Pseudozygopleura
Knight, 1930
and
Zygopleura
Koken, 1892
. The present specimen is too fragmentary for an identification.
