Aequispirella iredalei is an extinct species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk, unassigned in the superfamily Seguenzioidea.^[1]

Distribution

Fossils of this marine species were found in New Zealand. These species was found in the Coast of Rio de Janeiro State in South America. There were specifically nine different species that were found, however, the Brookula Iredalei was distinct due to the differences in its axial ribs and spiral cords.^[2]
