“Parrotia” pristina (Ettingshausen 1851) Stur 1867 with feeding traces.
oilshale posted a fossil in Plants
Taxonomy from GBIF.org. There is a complex literature about this polymorphic species. Similar leaf shapes possess the recent genera Hamamelis L., Fothergilla L., and Parrotia C.A. Meyer, therefore the term "Parrotia" pristina (Ettingshausen) Stur is used. Quote from B. Adroit 2020, p. 4 regarding the feeding traces: ”Currently, the main reference to identify and classify the plant–insect interactions in the fossil record is the ‘Guide to Insect (and Other) Damage Types on Compressed Plant Fossils’. This guide subdivides herbivory traces on leaves into seven functional feeding groups (FFGs): hole feeding, margin feeding, skeletonization, surface feeding, mining, piercing and sucking and galling.” This type of feeding trace was assigned to the damage type DT297. Identified by Dr. B. Androit, Swedish Museum of Natural History. References: Stur, D. (1867).

P. acuta has fewer, but more prominent ribs than P. scalarina as well as more angulated whorls. -

Status: Extinct Notes: Similar to the recent Fasciolaria tulipa, but with the first two apical whorls highly sculpted. Some authors have listed this species as an index fossil of the Middle Pleistocene Bermont Formation, but I have found it at several Tamiami Golden Gate sites as well as the Caloosahatchee. -

Order Neogastropoda Family Fasciolariidae Fasciolaria monocingulata (Dall, 1890) Stratigraphy: Golden Gate Member of the Tamiami Formation Location: Bonita Grande, Lee County, Florida USA. Status: Extinct Notes: Similar to the recent Caribbean Cinctura lillum, but with a prominent incised line under the suture. Mostly found in the Caloosahatchee Formation, but a few records exist in the Tamiami, mostly in the carbonate beds south of Sarasota. -

Order Neogastropoda Family Fasciolariidae Heilprinia caloosaensis (Heilprin, 1886) Stratigraphy: Pinecrest Sand Member of the Tamiami Formation Location: SMR Phase 10, Sarasota County, Florida USA. Status: Extinct Notes: This shell is sometimes noted as Heilprinia carolinensis. Dall (1892) in his description of Fusus caloosaensis carolinensis, stated that further one collects north, the heavier and thicker this species became, but noted that intergrades existed. Both slender and thick forms are found in the Caloosahatchee Formation. In the FLMNH database, specimens in Florida are typically identified as H. caloosaensis while those in the Carolinas are listed as H. carolinensis. -
