Glossella ? sp.
Pl. 2, Figs. 13–19
Material. Nine fragments from samples JH-23 and JH-184, including the figured specimens, TSGF 16780–16782 and TSGF 16945.
Description. Shell thin-walled and slightly convex. Outline elongate-oval to egg-shaped. Ornamentation consisting of fine growth lines and unevenly radiating rows of minute papillae, becoming dominantly divaricated with transverse or diamond-shaped papillae in lateral parts of shell. Valve floor possibly with scattered pitting.
Remarks. The fragments are tentatively assigned to Glossella based on the distinctive ornamentation consisting of rows of papillae. However, the specimens are too fragmentary for comparison with the known species.
Occurrence. 21 and 26 m above base of Profilbekken Member, Valhallfonna Formation, Basissletta in northeastern Ny Friesland, Spitsbergen.
