A new Campanile from the Palaeocene of Western Nigeria
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 May 2009
Summary
Campanile nigeriense sp. nov. is described and figured from the Palaeocene Ewekoro Formation of Western Nigeria. Its juvenile whorls characteristically have four smooth and broad spiral ribs while adult whorls are completely smooth. Vertical ornamentations are lacking. This second record of Campanile from West African Palaeocene strata suggests that the genus may be a stratigraphically useful index fossil in West Africa.
