A remarkably well-preserved freshwater gastropod. -
From the album: Miocene fossils from Qatar
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.

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.

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?

Recently I have taken interest in fossil hunting after discovering a plethora of fossils from some farmland in Southern Indiana. It is my understanding the fossils are from the Devonian period. My grandsons (5 and 6 years old) and I have collected several specimens I’ve the last couple of months. I have been searching the Internet for weeks trying to correctly identify our finds and just when I think I have something identified —I find other possibilities. I would like to make displays for the grandkids and label our other collections appropriately. I am in hopes this community would help identify the specimens, and provide advice on how best to label the fossils. I appreciate any assistance that can be provided. Thanks. —Bill Shingleton PS: All the fossils depicted are from Jeffersonville, IN.

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.

From the album: Glenshaw Formation Fossils of Western Pennsylvania
Scale bar = 5 mm. Pine Creek limestone, Armstrong County, PA -
In my Secret Santa gift last Christmas from @connorp I received (among other nice items) a very nice little hash plate from the Mifflin Member of the Platteville Formation (U/M Ordovician, Blackriverian, ~453 MY) from SW Wisconsin. The picture below is the plate as it was received and in my 12/20/22 post about getting it I said: “A great hash plate. I already see two or maybe three different trilobite types with a couple of them tantalizingly partially buried and an interesting gastropod that I am not familiar with. I think a little prep work will make this even more spectacular. As an added plus, it represents my first fossils from the state of Wisconsin.” I finally got around to doing the prep I talked about and spent a little time exposing some of the more prominent fossils and giving it a gentle going over with air abrasion to bring out some of the features. I think it looks even better than it already did and I was even more impressed with the wide variety of fossils on the small section of rock. Below is the cleaned up plate: Here is a collage of the plate just turned at different angles to the sunlight in case it helps to bring out any features: There are hundreds of fossil fragments on this one small piece of rock, but I want to highlight the top couple dozen specimens. With the help of some TFF members via previous posts and replies in a couple of ID threads I put out (thanks @Tidgy's Dad, @connorp, @piranha, @minnbuckeye and others), I have identified several trilobites, brachiopods, gastropods, ostracods, bryozoans, and a crinoid and want to show you this wonderful diversity in such a small space. If anyone sees changes to my ID's please feel free to chime in. Some will be very specific ID's and some will be a bit more general. The picture below is the key to where each of the numbered specimens is on the slab (see number in upper left of each specific picture). We will start with the trilobites. Although each is only a partial, there is enough present to get a pretty specific ID on most of them. All are new genera or species in my collection. Here are the brachiopods: Here are a couple of specimens of a really neat gastropod which was new to me. So often it seems Paleozoic gastropods are just internal molds or rather plain forms, but this first one is very nice. Here are a few bryozoans and one very small horn coral. There were several of these small corals, I'm not really sure of the ID, I didn't research them much yet. Just a couple of small crinoid columnals were found. And last but not least are the ostracods. I am used to small ostracods (which some of these are) but there is also this one form that is huge (by ostracod standards) coming in at about a centimeter long. At first I thought they were brachiopod fragments until I looked at them closer. These things are the size of a kidney bean! Note the scale difference between the Eoleperditia and all the others. Most of my ID's are questionable as I was using a reference that is for the immediately overlying Decorah Formation until I can find a listing for the Mifflin Member. OK that is everything for now. I hope you have enjoyed the wonderful diversity of this small slice in time. With a little more investigation, I may yet tease out a few more specimens worthy of an ID. Thanks for looking. Mike

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.
