This is the index fossil of the murchisonae zone. This sample was disturbed either during burial or later tectonically at the point where the phragmocone meets the body chamber. The shell is completely preserved on one side showing clearly the typical ribbing. It is not quite complete, still missing about a half turn around the axes.
