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 "Mesontopsis nehringi" except for that online auction.
Who knows that snail?
