Carinodrillia zooki is an extinct species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Pseudomelatomidae, the turrids and allies.[1]

Description

The length of the shell attains 20.5 mm, its diameter 8.5 mm.

(Original description) This species is very similar to † Carinodrillia fusiformis (Gabb, 1873), but differs as follows: the anterior canal is mich shorter. There is no cord at the lower edge of the sutural fasciole , above the supraperipheral cord. There are eleven somewhat protractive longitudinal folds on the body whorl, which are narrower than in C. fusilformis . In other respects, the two species seem to be substantially alike.[2]

Distribution

Fossils of this marine species were found in Miocene strata of the Gatun Formation in Panama.
