Sinuites cancellatus

Gastropoda - Bellerophontida - Sinuitidae

Taxonomy
Bellerophon cancellatus was named by Hall (1847). It is a 3D body fossil. Its type locality is Hall's Lorraine Locality, which is in a Shermanian carbonate limestone in the Flat Creek Formation of New York.

It was recombined as Protowarthia cancellata by Ulrich and Scofield (1897), Weller (1903), Cumings (1908), Grabau and Shimer (1909) and Knight (1941); it was recombined as Sinuites cancellata by Dalve (1948); it was recombined as Sinuites (Sinuites) cancellatus by Knight et al. (1960); it was recombined as Sinuites cancellatus by Bassler (1915), Foerste (1924), Ruedemann (1926), Bassler (1932), Knight and Bridge (1944), Wilson (1951), Caster et al. (1955), Liberty (1969), Runnegar (1981), Wahlman (1992) and Wagner (2023).

Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
G.P. Wahlman 1992Shell medium in size, smoothly rounded dorsally and laterally, subglobose, involute, umbilicus closed; sinus moderately shallow, lateral aperture lobes well rounded; growth lines fine, revolving lines even finer.

Shell medium in size (adult about 25 mm long), involute, with closed umbilicus, generally subglobose, smoothly rounded dorsally and laterally, degree of convexity variable. Sinus moderately shallow, V-shaped, having well-rounded apex; lateral apertural margins merge into well-rounded lobes. Aperture distinctly wider than long. Parietal inductura thin, folding over venter of coil onto umbilical region, marked by fine, wavy revolving lines. Shell ornament of fine, closely spaced growth lines crossed by even finer revolving lines, giving a faint cancellate appearance.
