High-spired nerineoid gastropods are abundant in the tropical Kimmeridgian carbonate deposits of the Swiss Jura Mountains. Understanding the mode of life of this extinct group of gastropods is crucial for palaeoenvironmental reconstructions. The knowledge on their ecology is, however, limited by the near absence of comparable large high-spired gastropods in Recent carbonate systems. Large...
