    Straparollus (Euomphalus) is likely an early gastropod that is relatively abundant in certain Graham Formation (Pennsylvanian) exposures in the area around Jacksboro, Jack Co., Texas.  Smaller specimens like those pictured are occasionally referred to as Schizostoma, which is currently considered a synonym.

     

    EDIT: Pennsylvanian is Subperiod, Late is Epoch.
