Non-Muricids: Chipola Formation Ceriths

This is another “quick and dirty” post — I’ll flesh out the details later. So be sure to check back if you love ceriths as much as me!

I believe that I have specimens of every species of Cerithiidae and Potamididae described from the Chipola Formation. This is not too difficult, as most species are fairly common within their ecological niche, and others are abundant throughout the entire formation. However, there are still some very interesting species found here. You can refer to Shirley Hoerle’s article on the Chipola Cerithiidae and Potamididae, published in Tulane Studies in Geology and Paleontology, for more details on each of the species figured below.
