Stromboidea


Original Description of Anchura infortunata by White, 1887, p. 173:

  • "Entre OS fosseis obtidos no Porto dos Barcos, Província de Sergipe, ha alguuias impressões naturaes imperfeitas de uma concha evidentemente congénere com as que, entre os molluscos Cretáceos Norte-Americanos, são ordinariamente referidas ao género Anchura de Conrad. A espira moderadamente longa; as voltas convexas, e ornadas de varizes longitudinaes; o bico anterior moderadamente proeminente; a aza larga, prolongada posteriormente em um processo pontudo; bordo externo da aza convexo; bordo anterior concavo, formando um angulo com o bordo externo, e curvando-se para adiante até o lado do bico. Comprimento total de uma concha adulta, apparentemente cerca de 30 millimetros ; largura através da aza, 20 millimetros."
  • "Among the fossils obtained at Porto dos Barcos in the province of Sergipe, are a imperfect natural casts of a shell which is evidently congeneric with those which among the Norlh American Cretaceous mollusca, are usually referred to the genus Anchura of Conrad. The spire is moderately long, the volutions convex, and marked by longitudinal varices; the anterior beak moderately prominent; the wing broad, and posteriorly produced into a pointed process; outer border of the wing convex ; anterior border concave, forming an angle with the outer border and curving forward to the side of the beak. The full length of an adult shell was apparently about 30 millimeters; its breadth across the wing, 20 millimeters."
