2.6.4 | Strombidae

The earliest strombid record is Stromboconus suessi ( Bayan, 1870, p. 480) from the Middle Eocene of Roncà, Italy. This specimen is not figured; however, other fossils of S. suessi are recorded from the Upper Lutetian of the same locality ( Wieneke et al., 2023), which we used to date the crown age of the strombid clade (Table 1).
