Stromboidea
Original description of Tylostoma punctatum by Sharpe, 1849:
- "Shell broadly-ovate, with a pyramidal spire formed of about 6 volutions: whorls convex, tabulated above, giving a step-like outline to the spire. Surface ornamented with numerous transverse rows of minute punctations set in shallow furrows, which are crossed by fine lines of growth: the rows of punctations are rather distant in the upper part of the whorl, but are crowded closely together near its base. Mouth ovate, the upper angle somewhat rounded: outer lip with a very broad, thick, internal callosity, which is repeated once in each volution."
Locus typicus: Sarjento-mór, about 1½ league north of Coimbra on the road to Oporto, Portugal.
Stratum typicum: Cretaceous
Dimensions: Spire angle 60°, length 1½ inches; breadth 1 1/8 inch.
