Terebratulina cf. retusa (Linnaeus, 1758)

( Fig. 65)

Material – Poggio Musenna (1 internal mould).

Size (mm) –

Length 7.4

Width 6.4

Notes – Terebratulina retusa is a widely distributed and well-known species in the European Neogene and recent seas ( LOGAN 1979; LOGAN et al. 2004), however, very rare in the NBC materials. The only available specimen is from the Mediterranean locality, Poggio Musenna. Although it is only an internal mould, it can be identified as T. retusa on the basis of the shape of the specimen, the characteristics of the beak region and the radial ornamentation.

Terebratulina ? sp.

(Figs 66–67)

Material – Dingden (1 fragmentary specimen); Winterswijk-Brinkheurne (1 fragmentary specimen).

Notes – Both specimens are so fragmentary, that even their generic assignment is uncertain. The characters of their outer ornamentation and the shell structure refer to possible Terebratulina .
