Aegopinella procellaria is an extinct species of small land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Gastrodontidae, the glass snails. [1]
(Original description in German) The shell is thin and shiny, with an almost flat upper surface and a strongly flattened lower surface. It is moderately wide and has a continuous umbilicus. The shell consists of five whorls, which are extremely finely striped and separated by deep sutures. The body whorl is very weakly keeled. The aperture is obliquely positioned and broadly moon-shaped, and has simple, sharp edges. [2]
Fossils of this extinct species were found in late Miocene strata in Mössingen, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. [1]
The umbilicus of a shell is the axially aligned, hollow cone-shaped space within the whorls of a coiled mollusc shell. The term umbilicus is often used in descriptions of gastropod shells, i.e. it is a feature present on the ventral side of many snail shells, including some species of sea snails, land snails, and freshwater snails.
