Abstract
Obornella Cox 1959, is an extremely depressed genus of the family Pleurotomariidae. It first appeared during Toarcian in France and continued up to the Tithonian. Obornella is a Tethyan genus restricted only to western Europe except previous reports of migration of a species to Kutch during the Late Bathonian. The present find describes a new species of Obornella, i.e., Obornella lakhaparensis from immediately below the Jurassic-Cretaceous boundary in Kutch. The present species is quite distinct from other Obornella species and has many novelties. A detailed systematic description is provided.
