Abstract

The present paper focuses on the systematic presentation of the gastropods from the collections
of Lăpugiu de Sus and Nemeşeşti (Făget Basin) located in the Mureş County Museum. The large
diversity of the species characterized the mollusc fauna from the famous occurrences of the
Făget Basin (Lăpugiu de Sus, Nemeşeşti, Coştei). The assemblage from Lăpugiu de Sus represents
one of the richest European Badenian fossil fauna. The collected gastropods (190 specimens) have
been determined, systematically arranged and illustrated. The 54 species recorded belong to 20
families (Neritopsidae, Cerithiidae, Turritellidae, Cypraeidae, Pediculariidae, Ficidae, Naticidae,
Aporrhaidae, Tonnidae, Buccinidae, Columbellidae, Fasciolariidae, Nassariidae, Muricidae,
Mitridae, Volutidae, Olividae, Conidae, Terebridae and Turridae).

Keywords: gastropods, taxonomy, Badenian, Lăpugiu de Sus, Nemeşeşti, Romania.
