These specimens belong to a Centropyxis species discovered in the Odenwald region of Germany. The shell sizes range from 70 to 102 µm, excluding the spines. Smaller shells are generally round, whereas larger ones tend to be elongated. The smaller shells align with the description of Centropyxis aculeata var. minima Van Oye, 1938, while the larger ones resemble Centropyxis oblonga Deflandre, 1929. A distinctive feature of these shells is the presence of a few relatively large stones positioned on the anterior lip of nearly every specimen. Additionally, the edge of the aperture is encircled by a collar of tiny stones, resembling a beaded necklace.
