  1. The wife surprised me with a trip to Kansas City this weekend for my birthday. We stopped at a road cut on the way out of town headed home and found some fun specimens. My neice and mother stopped at the same location a few weeks ago as well. We are excited to identify the finds for my nieces 4H geology project. I always wonder about some of these specimens if they are just the larger and smaller varieties of the same fossils. Here is a shot of the road cut. Here is an overall of our finds from the day.

    Simi Valley turritella and unknown ?

    Found this in Simi Valley CA. I did a less than spectacular prep job to expose the turritella and noticed some odd fossils in it maybe bone, and shell piece on the bottom. Any help with an ID? I know the area is known for Eocene fossils.
  3. I was surprised to learn that turritellia(elimia) agate comes from the Green River fm. It seems surprising that such radically different matrices are present in the same formation. Does anyone know the association, are there clumps of agate mixed in with green river fish/leaves/etc or are they isolated deposits that got lumped in together due to similar age and location? *edit*: Also, Eden valley wood/algae and giant stromatolites. Truly a diverse formation

    Preserving Invertebrate Fossils

    Hey guys I have some fossils I collected from the Coon Creek of Tennessee. The resident paleontologist, and other trip goers told me to use floor wax to seal these delicate fossils. They aren't permineralized and therefore crumble and crack very easily. Is there a better alternative to floorwax? I read both yes and nos on its usage. I don't like modifying fossils if I don't have to, but I've had multiple fall apart already.
  5. I found this in Kansas and I am wondering which fossil it is. At the same place I found pyritized pieces that would also go with these fossils ( the end part that looks like a screw) Also would like to know what the white thing is in the second photo.

    Turritella temblorensis (Wiedey 1928)

  8. A number of years ago I was working in Jordan and not far outside Petra we stopped for a coffee by a little roadside stall. Not far away I noticed a kid selling various rocks on an upturned cardboard box. He looked dirt poor so to help him out I bought a number of different shapes and sizes just so he could make a sale. It wasn't until later on I noticed one of the rocks had what looks to be small Gastropods in the rock. Can anyone confirm these are Turritella? Thanks Paul
  9. Hello, I purchased this specimen a few months ago at an estate sale. No label, no information. The fossil has been split lengthwise, polished, and the interior void space looks to have been filled with a sort of yellowish epoxy. Each half measures approx. 4.75 cm long x 2.5 cm across. Original depth before cutting looks to have been around 2.5 cm. I believe it is a Turritella, in a distinctive layered, calcareous concretion. I was able to find a photo of an almost identical specimen on a college professor's website, but I was unable to get additional information after following

    Gastropod

    I bought this fossil at a state sale auction from a geologist . I think is a gastropod but would like more details.

    Turritella incrassata

    From the album: The Mollusca of the Banjaard

    An incomplete specimen of a Pliocene species. This species is easily distinguished from the other Turritella species by its much thicker and better defined ridges. Status: extinct Fossil occurence: uncommon

    Is this Turritella?

    I'm 90% sure these are turritella I collected. Maybe someone knows the species but I doubt it. If these are in fact turritella, let me know.

    Found in Grapevine, TX

    Hello, These fossils were found around Grapevine Lake. I believe the one rock has oyster shells and turritella shells. I'm not an expert by any means, but are the fossils in the other rock ammonite? Any help is much appreciated! Thanks

  16. Hi, I found this external mold shell on Honeymoon beach, Florida USA. It's about 2" long and 3/4" on the widest end. Unfortunately it is broken and worn on the right edge, but I still thought it was a cool find. It's limestone and has about 3 more shell imprints on the flip side (not shown). This was an unusual shape so I made a clay mold to better see the shape (3rd photo)I looked through many seashell books and narrowed it down to Eastern Turritella or Florida Cerith. What do you think?
  17. I found this shell cast on Honeymoon Island, Florida, USA. As you can see from the photos it's a complete shell cast and measures about 4 x 3 1/2 inches. I did some research and found similar pictures that looked like Turritella Shell. Would the Forum agree with this ID?? If so I read that this is an extinct species of fossil sea snail. Is this correct? I appreciate your feedback. Thank you!

    Turritella fossils

    Love these little guys, they are a distinctly different color than the rest of the pitch black fossils I generally find at myrtle beach, and the crystal like lines are dazzling to me. I believe they are in the turritella family but any info is always welcome:)

    Purse State Park 12/22/17

    There are so many testaments to Purse State Park being a fantastic fossil collecting site online, and because of this I thought I’d go there myself and test my luck. I kept on hearing about quantity, and how Purse yields more fossil sharks teeth per trip than just about any other local site. I was blown away when reading that people come home from a single trip with hundreds of teeth, and of decent size and quality too! And so a few days before Christmas, I packed up my gear and made my way across the border and down the Potomac to Purse State Park.The drive there was just fine, and the park i

    Turritella alticostata

    A nice Turritella. Not uncommon at this site, but rarely in such good shape.

    Fossil Snail Sea Shell Turritella plebia St. Mary's formation, in the Calvert Cliffs, of Calvert County, Maryland Miocene Period, 23 million years ago Turritella is a genus of medium-sized sea snails with an operculum, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Turritellidae. They have tightly coiled shells, whose overall shape is basically that of an elongated cone. The name Turritella comes from the Latin word turritus meaning "turreted" or "towered" and the diminutive suffix -ella. The Gastropoda or gastropods, more commonly known as snails and slugs, are a large taxonomic clas
