LITTORINIMORPHA GOLIKOV & STAROBOGATOV, 1975 NATICIDAE GUILDING, 1834

FIG. 25

UCMP 218737 is a single small, deformed and indeterminate naticid. It has no features preserved that allow for a more precise identification. The family Naticidae is so wide ranging in the eastern Pacific, both chronologically and ecologically, that it is useless in making detailed age and environmental interpretations.
