Hispanosinuites peeli
Taxonomy
Hispanosinuites peeli was named by Fryda and Gutierrez-Marco (1996). Its type specimen is DPM 2504, a shell, and it is not a trace fossil. Its type locality is 5.2 kilometers southwest of Navas de Estena, close to road between Cuesta de Val, which is in an Oretanian offshore shale in the Navas de Estena Formation of Spain. It is the type species of Hispanosinuites.

| J. Fryda and J.C. Gutierrez-Marco 1996 | Isostrophicaly coiled, cryptomphalous, involute, laterally depressed shell; length to width ratio approximately 1.4. Maximum shell length slightly exceeds 25 mm (the holotype). Dorsal part of whorl shallowly arched, without development of keel; lateral sides of whorl symmetrically convex, slightly arched to umbilical region, which is completely filled with secondary shell deposits. Aperture not well preserved in studied specimens, but form may be reconstructed from deformed parts of aperture and relic of growth lines; aperture with V-shaped sinus of Sinuites-type with nearly straight sides. Lateral lobes short, subtrigonal. Growth lines obscured by secondary shell deposits, visible only on youngest part of outer shell surface. Main part of outer shell surface smooth. Between onehalf and three-quarters of whorl back from the aperture, this smooth, outer shell surface abruptly covered by secondary shell deposits with very characteristic "wrinkled" pattern (Figure 2.3, 2.7). Boundary between smooth dorsal surface and wrinkled surface forms shallow, wide, U-shaped curve that crosses dorsum of the shell. Curve culminate at, and is symmetrical about dorsal plane of symmetry (Figures 2.3, 3.1). At its most lateral points, boundary line slightly changes direction, continues adaperturally following boundary between dorsal, umbilical surfaces of whorl. Ornamentation of wrinkled shell deposits on dorsal surface of whorl differs from that on umbilical surface. Dorsal surface covered by small wrinkles that cross dorsum generally in same manner as boundary line between smooth and wrinkled surfaces (i.e., in transverse direction). Course of wrinkles becomes more irregular on latero-dorsal, lateral surfaces, where wrinkles often branch and cross (Figure 2.7, 2.10, 2.13). Umbilical surface covered by wrinkles of approximately same size as those on dorsal surface; wrinkles arranged in spiral direction. Sizes and distances between wrinkles decreases with increasing distance from shell axis (Figure 2.7, 2.1 1, 2.12). Umbilical region filled with additional shell deposits that cover shell layer with wrinkled surface and reach approximately to half of height of umbilical wall. Surface of umbilical deposits are smooth (Figure 2.1, 2.2, 2.7). Thickness of shell about 0.3 mm in dorsal part, about 0.7 mm in umbilical wall of whorl. Juvenile part and structure of the primary shell are unknown. |
