Extract

Kues and Batten (2001, p. 30, fig. 6.17–6.20) described several distinctive, minute, low-spired gastropod specimens from the Desmoinesian (Middle Pennsylvanian) Flechado Formation of north-central New Mexico, assigning them questionably to Lunulazona Sadlick and Nielsen, 1963 because of the strongly developed collabral elements similar to those of that genus. These shells, consisting of three or four inflated whorls, are at most 1 mm in height and the later whorls bear conspicuous, sharp, widely spaced collabral ribs that bend strongly across a wide, slightly flattened band interpreted as a peripheral selenizone. While recognizing these specimens as a distinct, unnamed taxon, Kues and Batten (2001) believed that they likely represent juveniles of an as yet unrecognized larger species of gastropod with a different mature morphology.
