Conasprella cercadensis is an extinct species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Conidae, the cone snails, cone shells or cones. [1]
The shell pattern consists of about 30–40 spiral lines, extending from base to shoulder; these coincide with the raised posterior edges of spiral ribs on the anterior half of the body whorl. The sutural ramp is unpigmented. [2]
This marine species was found as a fossil in a Neogene coral reef-associated deposit in the Dominican Republic.
