Olivella carolinae Gardner, 1948 [Invalid]

"Shell of moderate dimensions, ovate conic. Whorls about 6½ in all, the first turn and a half comprising the small smooth blunt protoconch. Early whorls of conch very narrow, increasing rapidly in width, trapezoidal in profile so that the spire as a whole is evenly tapering. Body broadly rounded, the greatest diameter falling near the median line of the shell. Whorls separated by channelled sutures; the margin undercut behind the suture; the margin in front of the suture, thin and sharp. Surface smooth and in the holotype retaining its high polish. Aperture cuneate, acutely angled posteriorly. Parietal callus heavy; the outer limit clearly defined, descending obliquely from the posterior suture of the body whorl to the callus encircling the terminal notch. A heavy inner pad superimposed, scored with grooves normal to the axis of the shell posteriorly, oblique anteriorly; pillar slightly excavated near its extremity; callus abruptly thickened along the outer margin of this depression. Terminal notch deep, broadly and obliquely U-shaped, the base of the body reinforced by a thin relatively wide band of callus heavier on the labial arm of the notch than on the labral, not continued backward along the margin of the thin outer lip. Dimensions of holotype: Height, 16.2 mm.; diameter, 7.2 mm.". Miocene. Duplin marls, 1 mile W of Lumberton, North Carolina, USA.
