    Hystrivasum horridum, common name the rough or shaggy vase,


    is a fossil species of medium-sized predatory gastropod in the family Hystrivasum horridum
    Turbinellidae. This species is extinct and is found in the Pleistocene
    deposits of Florida.

    Scientific classification
    Kingdom: Animalia
    Etymology
    Phylum: Mollusca
    The specific name horridum is Latin for "rough" or "shaggy" and
    Class: Gastropoda
    does not mean "horrid".
    (unranked): clade
    Shell description Caenogastropoda
    clade
    Like other species in the subfamily Vasinae, Hystrivasum horridum Hypsogastropoda
    shells are large, thick and heavy. They are vase-shaped, in the sense clade
    that they are biconical. The shells have moderate spires, and have
    Neogastropoda
    several plaits on the columella.
    Superfamily: Muricoidea
    Hystrivasum horridum, formerly Vasum horridum, belongs to an
    extinct group that is easily distinguished from modern Vasum by the Family: Turbinellidae
    presence of two sets of spines or nodes located on the shoulder of Subfamily: Vasinae
    the whorls. These spines can be found at the suture and at the
    periphery of the shoulder. H. horridum has 12-15 wide, scoop-like Genus: Hystrivasum
    spines that project almost horizontally from the shoulder. Also, H. Species: H. horridum
    horridum has a pronounced "waist-like" constriction at the base of
    the shell. These characteristics set it apart from other members of the Binomial name
    group.[1] Hystrivasum horridum
    Hystrivasum horridum is known only from the Pleistocene of (Heilprin, 1886)
    Florida. It is "one of the most characteristic and elegant fossils of the
    Caloosahatchee marl." [2] It was first described by Angelo Heilprin in 1886. The famous malacologist William
    Healey Dall stated that this "magnificent species seems to be confined to [the Pliocene Caloosahatchie Beds]
    and to have given rise to no descendant in the recent fauna.”[3]
