: Actually, I've been looking over some articles posted in the Bulletin of the Southern California Paleontological Society in 1991, and I think that this shell looks more like Paterina prospectensis. Please tell me if I'm wrong!
: Thanks.

Maybe, however the illustration of the Paterina prospectensis I have (from the Jack Mount paper) does not have the radial indentations that your specimen seems to have. Now, the size of your specimen (9mm) is closer to Paterina's than Mickwitzia's. So you could be right. I am going to invite people from a paleontology list to help in the ID.
