Miraclathurella Vittata
''Miraclathurella vittata'' is an extinct Pliocene species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Pseudomelatomidae, the turrids and allies. The species was discovered by Wendell Woodring in 1928. Description The length of the shell attains 12 mm, its diameter 4.1 mm. Woodring described the genus Miraclathurella and identified two species. ''M. vittata'' was differentiated from ''M. entemna'' by a "protoconch of about three whorls, about the last half whorl bearing an anterior keel, behind which lie axial riblets.” Distribution Fossils of this species were found in Miocene strata in the Bowden Formation, Jamaica Jamaica is an island country in the Caribbean Sea and the West Indies. At , it is the third-largest island—after Cuba and Hispaniola—of the Greater Antilles and the Caribbean. Jamaica lies about south of Cuba, west of Hispaniola (the is ...; age range: 3.6 to 2.588 Ma.

Miraclathurella Amica
''Miraclathurella amica'' is an extinct species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Pseudomelatomidae, the turrids and allies. Description The length of the shell is 16.3 mm, its dialmeter 5.25 mm. (Original description) This extinct species resembles ''Miraclathurella gracilis'' but it is less slender and the whorls are shorter and revolve less obliquely. It has the same number of axial ribs and spiral threads but, as they are relatively larger, they are much more crowded than in ''M. gracilis''. The fine spiral lines between the prominent raised threads are very minute. The lip varix is noticeably larger and the aperture is wider. The callous nodule on the body next to the sinus is much larger than in ''M. gracilis''.
