Ambozone nodosa

Gastropoda - Murchisoniina - Gosseletinidae

Taxonomy
Porcellia nodosa was named by Delpey (1941) [This was not proposed as a new species, but Batten (1972) tabbed it as such. It is NOT Porcellia nodosa Hall 1859, as Delpey thought. Ultimately, it needs a new name even if it is not truly a homonym. ]. It is a 3D body fossil.

It was recombined as Ambozone nodosa by Batten (1972).
