Geological horizon. Lower Claiborne Eocene. 



Type. Texas State Museum. 



Turritella dutexata nov. sp. PI. 9, fig. 8. 



Specific characterization. Whorls (in a complete specimen) about 

 15 ; all marked by two subcentral carinal lines together with one 

 small one just below and one just above the suture. 



Besides the ornamentation shown on the specimen figured, there 

 are usually about four spiral strke on each whorl between the upper 

 carinal and subsutural line ; between the two strong carinal lines 

 there is often a faint stria; likewise one often appears just below the 

 lower carina. When fully striated this species bears a general re- 

 semblance to T. arenicola and T. arenicola var. branneri, but may 

 be distinguished at once by the persistency of the bicarinate feature 

 of the whorls to the very apex. The apical whorls of T. arenicola 

 and variety are unicarinate somewhat as in T. carinata H. C. Lea 

 ( T. apita De Greg. ). It will be observed that in Meyer's carefully 

 drawn figure of T. carinata H. C. Lea, in the Proc. Ac. Nat, ScL 

 Phila., 1887, p. 54, pi. 3, fig. 1, la, two carinse are represented on 

 each whorl, but it is the upper one which predominates on the apical 

 whorls; in dutexata it is the lower.
