KingSepron Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 I think at least one of them are marsh creepers. I found them in Abbey Wood, a famous Eocene area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludwigia Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 "marsh creepers" is a generalized lay term for practically anything 3D spiral which creeps around on wet ground. The closest I can get with these ones is family Turritellidae but maybe someone more familiar with Eocene shells from Abbey Wood can get more precise. 2 Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

Shamalama Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 If the deposits at Abbey Wood are temporally similar, you may want to look for literature describing the fossils from the Paris Basin. Much of that area was deposited in the Eocene. -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers.

To them, the roadcut is a portal, a fragment of a regional story, a proscenium arch that leads their imaginations into the earth and through the surrounding terrain. - John McPheeIf I'm going to drive safely, I can't do geology. - John McPheeCheck out my Blog for more fossils I've found: http://viewsofthemahantango.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calli99 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 The first one is Eotympanotonos funatus, the second one is very hard to tell since its just a small fragment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem! Eotympanotonos funatus is the updated name of Tympanotonus funatus, a lot of resources online don't seem to have updated their names, or they use them interchangeably. This link has a picture of it (with the outdated name) http://www.trg.org/downloads/fossils of abbey wood.pdf I'd also recommend the Natural History Museum's British Cenozoic Fossils book. It covers a good range of fossils, including lots that can be found at Abbey Wood. I hope this helps, and I look forward to seeing what else you find! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
