I've recently found a very large gryphaea compared to others in my collecting (12 by 9 cm) and was curious as to what the age would be of the animal when it died. Is there any way to estimate this? I have both the shell and it's trapdoor. I've uploaded a foto of the side of the trapdoor.

As spring dawns on Maryland’s fossiliferous coast, so does yet another size estimation for our well-loved extinct shark Carcharocles/Otodus megalodon! The lead author is CMM assistant curator Victor Perez, awesome dude. This one spits out around 20 meters or 65 ish feet. Also includes estimations on Carcharodon hastalis and Carcharodon hubbelli amongst others. This method is unique in that it takes into account dentition size instead of just tooth size. Take a look! You are likely to be seeing it in the news for the next couple of weeks. https://palaeo-electronica.org/content/2021/3284-estimating-lamniform-body-size?fbclid=IwAR3a4cKemdKsVRqBp9qeOou2Hih2ZWcR2WOl8_tbmG8tiT0ZhDqDG4RsF2I
