Description
Summary:Tectura ? cf. taurinensis Sacco, 1897 Fig. 5M–N Tectura taurinensis Sacco, 1897: 20, pl. 2 fig. 53. Tectura cf. taurinensis – Cossmann & Peyrot 1917: 34, pl. 2 figs 47–49. Tectura taurinensis – Ferrero Mortara et al. 1984: 279, pl. 51 fig. 3. Material examined ITALY – Tuscany • 1 spec.; Ca’ Cavalmagra; MSF 1310 (L = 2.4 mm). Remarks Sacco (1897) reported this species from the Turin hills and as being 4–6 mm long and up to 1.5 mm high. This matches the size of the specimen from Ca’ Cavalmagra. However, as protoconch and shell microstructure of this species remain unknown, its assignment to the patellogastropod Tectura remains tentative. Stratigraphic and geographic range Middle to Upper Miocene, northern Italy.
