Fusispira
Taxonomy
Fusispira was named by Hall (1872) [Sepkoski's age data: O Trem D Eife-u Sepkoski's reference number: 2,797,1004]. It is not extant. Its type is Fusispira ventricosa.
It was reranked as Murchisonia (Fusispira) by Whitfield (1886); it was reranked as Subulites (Fusispira) by Knight et al. (1960).
It was assigned to Murchisonia by Whitfield (1886); to Fusispiridae by Miller (1889); to Subulites by Knight et al. (1960); to Neotaenioglossa by Sepkoski (2002); and to Subulitidae by Ulrich and Scofield (1897), Nützel et al. (2000), Bouchet et al. (2005) and Wagner (2023).
