Arizona Chris

Any turriculate high spired gastropod in the Mississippian Redwall Limestone is very rare!  We have found only a small handful of them over the years in searching through countless thousands of pounds of rock in most parts of northern Arizona.  Strangely, coiled gastropods such as Straparollus are pretty commonly found.  This individual would have been about five inches long perhaps, and we see here three whirls in an outside mold in the brownish cherts in the Thunder Springs member of the Redwall.
