Status Fleming (1828:304-305) lists a number of fossil Turritellidae, amongst which he lists the name Turritella elongata twice. For the first mention (p. 304), he refers to James Sowerby's Min. Conch., from which authority of that name can be derived. For the second, he refers to Ure, 1793 (History of Rutherglen and East-Kilbride, pl. 14, fig. 11) in which no specific name for the figured specimen is provided. As such, authority is to be considered of Fleming, 1828. With very little information provided by both Ure as well as Fleming, and with Ure stating that this is a minute specimen, it is likely that this nominal taxon does not concern Turritellidae. Its current placement is at present not known, and therefore it is here considered as taxon inquirendum untill further information becomes available. [details]
