Turritella (Kurosioia) cingulifera
Searched as Turritella tricarinata. The Paleobiology Database treats Turritella (Kurosioia) cingulifera as the accepted name.

Time the record covers
At least 32 million years on record.
The record covers at least 33.9 Mya to 1.8 Mya. No occurrence read is dated outside 37.71 Mya to 11.7 ka.
47 occurrences of Turritella (Kurosioia) cingulifera on record, most of them in the Pliocene. The Paleobiology Database records this as a living group. Bar height is expected occurrences, not a count: each fossil is spread across the span it is dated to, so a tall narrow bar means tight dating and a low wide one means loose.
When
47 occurrences- Eocene2%
- Oligocene2%
- Miocene28%
- Pliocene56%
- Pleistocene12%
These are dates about fossils, not the animal: the record can only begin after it arose and end before it died out, so either end may reach further. Shares are expected occurrences: a fossil dated to a span is counted partly in each period it straddles. More on what this infers.

The Paleobiology Database records 17 sites for Turritella (Kurosioia) cingulifera, and this reads all of them. The number is how many of those sites it was catalogued from too. The 24 sharing the most are listed.
This is not a list of everything alive at the time. It is only what has come out of the same ground as this animal and been written down.

No 3D scan of Turritella (Kurosioia) cingulifera was found in Sketchfab.
Smithsonian Open Access and MorphoSource were not reached for this taxon, so this list is what the others held rather than everything there is.
This is what the site found, which is not the same as what exists.
