Abstract

Turbo (Marmarostoma) matsuzakiensis Tomida and Kadota with an in situ operculum was found in limestone within the tuffaceous sandstone of the middle Miocene Yugashima Group, at Shikura, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. The presence of an operculum on T. (M.) matsuzakiensis Tomida and Kadota is confirmed and described in this paper, and demonstrates the autochthonous occurrence of the fossil.
