This was found in the surf after a storm. It was quite near where erosion had exposed lignite reported to be of Cretaceous age. I included a shot of an interesting piece collected. The site is a terminal moraine south of Woods Hole MA. The texture may be obscured by salt and Elmer's used as a stabilizer. But . . . Does this look to be Teredo borings in Cretaceous peat ?

Dear fellow forum members, some years ago I acquired some remnants of an old collection with poor documentation, most fossils where from germany. Among these was a gastropod shell in very light matrix I assumed to be lignite or something similar. Yesterday I found a very similar shell for sale online with the following ID: "Schnecke, Mesontopsis nehringi, Tertiär, Pliozän,Tagenbau Hambach" "Tagebau" is open pit mining, lignite in that case. The one on red background is mine. I think I can assume they are the same species. I just cannot find any information on
