Gastropod - Miocene (Badenium, ca. 15 Ma) of the Styrian basin

Hello,

 

and now a gastropod from the same are (Styrian basin of Austria, Badenium, "Pölser Mergel", locality Pöls).

 

It is associated with marine molluscs (Turritella, Conus etc.) and also a colonial coral was found there (Siderastrea). I can not even find

a vaguely similar gastropod in the atlas of Hoernes. It has - to my eyes - some resemblance to Ampullina from the upper Cretaceous...

 

Length is about 3 cm.

 

Thank you very much for your help!
Franz Bernhard
