        If the deposit where in the Pleurotomaria are found is from calm
water, there shells are not brolek, as I saw  in Faxe, Denmark in Danian
deposits. In deposits of turbulent water the shells are broken in the way
indicated. I saw such a specimen from the early Oligocene of the Doberg,
Germany.
