Jurassicz1 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Found this Shell near gothenburg sweden. Unsure what age and species. I once asked the local museum of the age of the fossil rocks from the beaches. And they say its roughly 80 myo Anyone know what age? I Think 80 myo but wanna be sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Looks like a brachiopod to me. It's a bit worn but could be an atrypid. Is it very domed, or only a little? Profile photo would help, but I'm betting that's Wenlock, Middle Silurian in age. 5 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Kmiecik Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Possibly an operculum? Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
