Echinoid Salenia question and ID of tiny spiral - gastro or worm?
JamieLynn posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello all! Went a hunting in the Glen Rose Formation yesterday and found a few nice salenia texanas...I think. The first one, has the rounded cap, the next one is a bit more "indented" But the last one has a very different looking "cap". Is it perhaps something else? Also found this tiny spiral, I am thinking its a worm, but never seen one do this perfect spiral. It's so tiny and poorly preserved, unfortunately, pictures are hard to get. Any help will be appreciated!- 5 replies

I am trying to identify my gastros. I can easily identify tylostomas, gyrodes, nerinea and lunatia. What has me stumped is Anchura, Turitella, and Cerithium -I had looked up online and in the Field Guide to Texas Fossils and they look like what I have. But then I got the book Texas Cretaceous Gastropods and none of the species look like what I thought i had ID'd. So now I am confused. Any help in ID would be appreciated. ..(all of these were found in Central Texas - Hays, Bandera, Comal, Blanco and Gillespie Counties) I thought these were Turitella, but none look like what is drawn in the Texas Cretaceous Gastropod book, but the Field Guide says Turitella: I think these might be Cerithium bosquense but others say it's Pseudomelania? And are these just small Anchura? The big Anchura I have seem to have a distinct "shoulder" on them:
