Large Platyostoma niagarense gastropods were plentiful in the Waldron Shale that I collected in this early Autumn. But these tiny gastropods kept showing up and I can not find their identity. In the first picture, a P. niagarense is the large specimen. The smaller gastropods next to it are what confuse me. Maybe they are just small Platyostomas. But subjectively, their spiral is higher. And their coloration is different.

so I am new to fossil hunting but have went out the past couple days and have had a blast. But I can not figure out how to attach photos! I select add photos, and nothing happens. What gives?

What is this cross section of a 5 cm tall gastropod from the Pennsylvanian Naco Formation of Arizona? The photo of whole gastropods that are similar and are found in the same formation at the Kohl’s Ranch site. Photo by Caty Sandoval. What are these? This may help (I have a good guess): https://www.dallaspaleo.org/resources/Documents/PGUPFT 2a Mollusca first half.pdf

Today I spotted a bit of ecphora shell exposed in a sandy/clay stream bank. When I removed it from the bank I was shocked to find it was whole and HUGE! As far as I know it is pretty rare to find these in unbroken condition and this is the largest one I've ever come across. I got it home and started cleaning it off. Most of the sand/clay washed away easily with gentle running water and a soft bristled brush, but the portion that was exposed to the air seems to have cemented itself to the shell and turned a whitish color, while the portion that was not exposed was dark brown and softer. I've picked away at the "cemented" stuff (sorry, I don't really know the correct terms to describe this) with dental picks and made some progress but I am worried I'll damage the shell doing this. Can anyone offer any advice on how to finish cleaning this off without damaging the shell? Thanks. I've included a few photos and I'm happy to provide more detail if needed

Rare to find whole. This one is around 7mm in length I love their luster and smoothness Midra shale formation, Qatar. Middle eocene -
Been finding a lot of these tiny spiral shells. While some are definitely gastropods this one looks similar to some forams I’ve seen. Would love to know which this one is! Thanks

I took off yesterday morning and drove to a Grayson County creek, one of my previous hunted and favorite spots. It was my first fossil hunting trip since early in the year. I haven't posted here since October of last year, and had made only a couple of trips where I didn't find much since then. And, truth be told, when I'm not hunting, I'm not browsing the forum either, hence my long absence. The multiple meniscus tears in my left knee finally became too much to allow for hiking creeks, so I stopped hunting. I finally had knee surgery May 2nd, but have not been able to kneel on that knee again until very recently. The past few weeks, I have felt like that, with a bit of extra padding, I could use my knee pads again, but with daily temperatures from 105 to 110 degrees, I have just not been willing to fossil hunt. Finally, yesterday was cooler, so off I went. Here are some in situ photos. That first photo has two teeth.

I found this gastropod in a stream in Erie. co NY. It is roughly 1 mm tall and 3 mm across. Finding resources online has proven tricky. I'm leaning towards Euryzone or Glyptotomaria but would love an opinion from someone familiar with this formation.

This is probably a long shot, but I was hoping someone could identify the gastropod in the attached image, at least to family. Embedded in silicified Miocene-age limestone (chert, Tampa Member, Arcadia Formation) from eastern Hillsborough County, Florida. Commonly found associated with charophytes, a freshwater algae. Thanks!

This tiny gastropod has me stumped. Does anyone recognize it? Thanks for any suggestions!!!! It reminds me a bit of Trochonema, but seems much different from those I have found in the past.

Well I yesterday I drove to one of the Keasey outcrops here in Oregon (the one with the Cold Seep). You cannot dig here in Oregon without a permit or landowners permission, so I hunt the talus along the road. Yesterday I picked up about 25 specimens. Interestingly, many were weathered out and among my largest finds. The mollusk (some shell present but mostly a cast from the shell as mold) measures 66mm on the long dimension and the gastropod 34mm across. The mollusk on the right is the average size I find in the Keasey formation. Both the Mollusk and gastropod are significantly larger than my normal talus finds. I don't know if this is because of the Cold Seep or just the particular set of finds. I do find lots of shells showing predation like the small one on the right. Any it was a fun day looking through the talus and well worth the trip.
