Idiostrophia acuminata Pander 1830 (lamp shell)

Rhynchonellata - Pentamerida - Camerellidae

This might be Porambonites acuminata, but 1) it's never been put in Idiostrophia elsewhere, and 2) that species is a bit younger than these specimens. I cannot find any Idiostrophia acuminata anywhere else.

Belongs to Idiostrophia according to Pander 1830
