Neptunea Angulata
†''Neptunea angulata'' is an extinct species of large fossil sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Buccinidae The Buccinidae are a very large and diverse taxonomic family of large sea snails, often known as whelks or true whelks.Bouchet, P.; Gofas, S. (2010). Buccinidae. In: Bouchet, P.; Gofas, S.; Rosenberg, G. (2010) World Marine Mollusca database. A .... There is some confusion concerning the nomenclature (the naming) of this extinct taxon. The species was formerly known as '' Neptunea contraria''. This is, however, the name of a modern extant species, and therefore the two names are ''not'' synonyms.
