Gastropod Identification Help Needed - Florida Fossil (2nd Post)
Gregory Kruse posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello, I found these gastropods along the Sanibel Causeway in Ft. Myers, FL. They were in a pile of shells being used for landscaping so I presume that the sediments came from a nearby quarry of ?Pleistocene age, possibly the Caloosahatchee Fm. Can someone help me verify and identify this fossil? Family Olividae? Thank you!- 3 replies

Hello fellow members. My name is Ron Voskuil, 50 years of age, from Hulst, The Netherlands. I have been studying Mollusca for over 25 years and have published several papers on cockles (Cardiidae) on olive shells (Olividae) as well as on Brachiopoda. Since over two years, I am the site owner of the "Olividae and Olivellidae LifeDesk", dedicated to the life history of two families of mollusks and containing a wealth of information (original descriptions, images, PDF files and much more). As the extinct representatives of these two families ar at least as interesting as the living ones, information is needed. I am looking for specimens of all species of all parts of the world, photographs and other data. And may be able to help you out with identifications or whatever. Pleas drop me an e-mail message, I would much appreciate it! Ron
