Ruger9a Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Good afternoon folks. I have an item desperately requiring an identification so it can be placed on my display case. It was an unidentified find at the 2000 Tucson Gem and Mineral Show. Can anyone help? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Yup, a pretty sizeable gastropod steinkern. Not sure that without location or someone recognizing the preservation that we'll get any further than that. 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend.

I wondered about the underneath where it still has some actual shell segments. Here are a few more photos that show more pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tidgy's Dad Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Not sure that helps. Not sure those bits underneath are even from the same specimen. 2 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that might explain it. Wish I knew what it/they are? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
