Schilderia is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Cypraeidae, the cowries.[2]
This is a nomen nudum. Almost all species of this genus have become synonyms in Schilderina Dolin & Aguerre, 2020 [3]
Description and distribution
[edit]The shell size of these sea snails varies between 22 mm and 50 mm. The dorsum surface is usually brown, while the base is white. Species within this genus are widespread in the western Mediterranean Sea and along the coasts of the western Africa.[4][5]
Fossil records
[edit]
The fossil record of this genus dates back to the Miocene (age range: from 23.03 to 2.588 million years ago). These fossils have been found in Italy, Spain, France and Greece.[6]
