Bathytoma
''Bathytoma'' is a genus of deep-water sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family (biology), family Borsoniidae. Fossil records This genus is known in the fossil records from the Paleocene to the Quaternary (age range: 55.8 to 0.781 million years ago). Fossils are found in the marine strata throughout the world. Distribution This marine species occurs in the Eastern Indian Ocean (Madagascar, Mozambique, South Africa); off Indonesia, New Caledonia, Panglao Island, Sulu Sea, Vanuatu, Wallis and Futuna, Bohol, Kerala, New Zealand, Philippines, Sea of Japan; off Australia (New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria, Western Australia). They are all known from deep waters from 100 m to about 1500 m, but usually at 200–700 m. Description The lines of specific distinction appear to be drawn narrowly in this genus and to depend chiefly upon sculpture. The novelty appears intimately related to ''Bathytoma engonia'' (Watson, 1881) differing by the sharper keel, more elevated tuber ...
