Nodobaculariella Cushman & Hanzawa 1937

Nodobaculariella sp. cf. N. japonica Cushman & Hanzawa 1937 ( Fig. 5 : 13, 14)

Description. See Cushman & Hanzawa (1937; p. 42, pl. 5:9–11) and Debenay (2012 p. 112, pl. 4).

Remarks. This species has only been tentatively assigned due to its low abundance and only being found broken and in juvenile form. Despite this, the collected specimen displays notable characteristics of Nodobaculariella japonica Cushman & Hanzawa 1937 including the strongly compressed test, longitudinal costae and a narrow, terminal aperture surrounded by an everted lip.

Distribution. This taxon was only found once in One Tree Lagoon 2, site 52.
