Terebralia lignitarum (Eichwald, 1830) (Fig. 4 E1-E3) Cerithium lignitarum Eichwald, 1830: 224. Terebralia lignitarum – Landau et al. 2013 (cum syn.): 51, pl. 4, fig. 11. MATERIAL EXAMINED. — AMPG (IV) 2304-2305 (two specimens). DIMENSIONS. — Maximum height: 91.0 mm. DISTRIBUTION. — Late Oligocene . Proto-Mediterranean Sea: Turkey (İslamoğlu 2008), Greece (Harzhauser 2004); Paratethys: Hungary (Janssen 1984); east-African-Arabian province: Oman (Harzhauser 2007). Early Miocene .

Middle Miocene . NE Atlantic: France (Cossmann & Peyrot 1922; Glibert 1949); Paratethys: Austria (Hörnes 1856), Poland (Bałuk 1975), Hungary (Strausz 1966); Eastern Paratethys (Landau et al. 2013). Late Miocene . NE Atlantic: Portugal (Landau et al. 2013); eastern Mediterranean Sea: Italy (Sacco 1895b), Greece (Dermitzakis 1972). REMARKS In the studied material, a few specimens are present that could be juvenile specimens of T. lignitarum . The species is well known from the Oligocene and the Miocene of the Paratethys, the Western Tethys – Proto-Mediterranean and the North Atlantic Ocean, and is commonly found in lagoonal or brackish environments. It is also present in the Middle Miocene (Serravallian) of Turkey (Landau et al. 2013). The morphological variation of the species has led to the creation of some varieties, mainly by Sacco (1888, 1895b). The shape of the shell can be more or less elongated, and the sculpture can form some axial tubercules. Landau et al. (2013) also provide a full list of synonyms and a discussion on the nomenclature and the morphological variations. Modern representatives of Terebralia are found in mangroves or mudflats (Reid et al. 2008). In the fossil record T. lignitarum is found in brackish deposits (Landau et al. 2013), mudflats (Latal et al. 2006) and mangroves (Harzhauser 2007). : Published as part of Thivaiou, Danae, Harzhauser, Mathias & Koskeridou, Efterpi, 2019, Early Miocene Gastropods from the Felli Section (Proto-Mediterranean Sea NW Greece), pp. 323-366 in Geodiversitas 41 (8) on pages 334-335, DOI: 10.5252/geodiversitas2019v41a8, http://zenodo.org/record/3700008 : {"references": ["EICHWALD E. 1830. - Naturhistorische Skizze von Lithauen, Volhynien und Podolien in geognostisch-mineralogischer, botanischer und zoologischer Hinsicht.
