I'm a mineral collector rather than a fossil collector, but this gastropod replaced by chalcedony has one foot in each camp. It was labeled (by a mineral dealer) "Turritela fossil snail" with a locality given only as Morocco. It'd like to come a little closer taxonomically if I can. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. Edit: Forgot to include its dimensions: 24 mm tall x 15 mm diameter

A calcite replaced miocene conus fossil I found. The rock itself was collected early last year but I cracked it open to look for echinoids. The calcite is paper thin and very fragile, and the inside of it is also filled with numerous crystals. Dam formation Abu samra member-

I don’t have too many tylostoma gastropods, but I found a few yesterday that include the biggest one I’ve found in one piece. Small hemiaster and heteraster echinoids galore as well. The big Tylostoma will replace one of my current “keepers” in my collection. Tarrant county, TX near downtown Fort Worth. The others are anchura(?)

Howdy all, Was taking a walk around EP. Tom Sawyer here in Louisville, and I found this little fossilized gastropod in a creek bed. I had originally thought that it was of the Silurian, but then I found some coal right next to it, which makes me think this may be Carboniferous. A species ID would also be helpful.

I am fortunate enough to have such a huge amount of Middle Devonian Givetian material that I thought it best to put the older Middle Devonian stage, the Eifelian, in its own thread. There are some spectacular fossils here as well though! I thought a good place to start would be in the Formosa Reef, which I believe is quite early Eifelian. This tabulate coral and stromatoporoid reef continues similar complexes found from the Middle Silurian, see my: https://www.thefossilforum.com/topic/84678-adams-silurian/page/3/ thread from page three onwards for details. All these Formosa Reef specimens come from a delightful gift from my good friend @Monica who is a tad busy with life at the moment but is fine and still thinking of the forum. This outcrop can be found on Route 12 near Formosa/Amherstburg, Bruce County, Ontario, Canada. This beautiful-looking specimen came to me with only a third of it revealed but I managed to get it this far after nine days of painful pin prepping. Monica found another one and posted it for ID here: https://www.thefossilforum.com/topic/105528-weird-circular-imprints-formosa-reef-lower-devonian/#comment-1172285 The specimen was identified by another Canny Canadian @Kane to be the little stromatoporoid sponge Syringostroma cylindricum. Hardly a reef-builder, but gorgeous nonetheless. It does have a little thickness to it, but not much. Beautiful! Pretty thin, actually. I love this Monica, thank you!

Micro heteromorphic silicified ?gastropod ?microconchid Mississippian, England
TqB posted a topic in Fossil ID
Does anyone recognise this tiny silicified shell? It's about 2mm long. I haven't seen one like it before from the Carboniferous. From the Great Limestone (upper Mississippian, Pendleian Stage) from Weardale, Co. Durham, England. From a piece I've been dissolving in acid, containing silicified brachiopods, gastropods etc. It starts off with an open helical spiral (3rd photo) and then straightens out. It also has clear annular ribs. Although the preservation is imperfect and sugary, I'm sure it's shell replacement rather than internal mould, judging from other fossils in the pece. The various serpulid-like gastropods and microconchids I've come across elsewhere don't have the regular ribbing.- 4 replies

Gastropod ID? Eagle ford Shale (not far from Woodbine) Dallas County TX
Shaun-DFW Fossils posted a topic in Fossil ID
I found my 2nd and 3rd gastropods in the Eagle Ford, but these are unique (to me). Especially one that I found right along the Trinity River in western Dallas County TX. it’s almost glass-like on portions of it and I kept thinking it was still wet due to the reflection. I also found a nice handful of ammonites but I’ll post that elsewhere. I finally met my match with the cold water..I still got in up to my ankles. 🤣😬 any ideas on the gastropods?- 3 replies

Fossil snail/Gastropods from the Matoaka Beach Cabins, Maryland
Velociraptor99 posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello, I have a few gastropods/snails I found on my trip to Maryland, at the Matoaka Beach Cabins. They are Miocene in age, but I can’t really find anything online for species and genus names. I want to put together a display for an event tomorrow. Could anyone help me ID them please? Any help is greatly appreciated. -
I recently found this while looking for a find out in the wild. I am not sure what this is, considering I found it in a river, but it seems like it may be a snail/slug/gastropod I am an amateur, so I can't easily identify things. I am looking for the scientific name for this species though, because I am working on a display box for some of the fossils I have found already. Also, I did barely any digging, for anyone's information. and in the image I am including a reference drawing because the quality of the camera I own is garbage (sorry). Any information helps.

I recently went on a field trip to an area near Peterson Butte, Linn Co., Oregon, USA. Among a great number of various mollusks was this gastropod. According to Hickman, this area was part of the Eugene formation and is from the Oligocene era. The largest specimen is about 4 cm x 2.6 cm. Several other small specimens of around 25-30 mm were also collected. Any ideas? thanks, Steve

As I went through the rocks I had collected in October from the Ordovician's Galena, likely Stewartville Formation, a SMALL gastropod popped out of a piece of matrix that was split open. After looking thorough my references, I could not place this fossil. Hence the need of your help.

I found this fossil in southeastern Indiana. Does anyone know what it could be? I figure it's some kind of gastropod but I'm not sure what, I've never seen one like it before.
