nutiseadmetes

Nutiseadmetes is a genus of extinct sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Muricidae.

The genus was described by Gofas, 1995. It includes a single species, Nutiseadmetes watsoni, which was found

Nutiseadmetes watsoni is a relatively small species of sea snail, with shell dimensions of approximately 4-6

The fossil record of Nutiseadmetes and other related sea snails suggests that they were likely epifaunal species,

Additional research is necessary to confirm the characteristics and classification of Nutiseadmetes and to better understand
