Miraclathurella vittata

† Euclathurella (Miraclathurella) entemma Woodring, 1928 Miraclathurella vittata is an extinct Pliocene species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Pseudomelatomidae, the turrids and allies.

[1] The species was discovered by Wendell Woodring in 1928.

[2] Woodring described the genus Miraclathurella and identified two species.

M. vittata was differentiated from M. entemna by a "protoconch of about three whorls, about the last half whorl bearing an anterior keel, behind which lie axial riblets.”[3] Fossils of this species were found in Miocene strata in the Bowden Formation, Jamaica; age range: 3.6 to 2.588 Ma.
