Gregory Kruse Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Hello, I found this gastropod 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 ?Pleistocen age. . I have consulted the Florida Museum's database and found a similar species: http://specifyportal.flmnh.ufl.edu/ip/ (specimen #100196) VERMICULARIA SPIRATA under the Family Turritellidae. Can someone help me verify and identify this fossil? Thank you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hemipristis Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I'd posit the genus Vermicularia, probably V. spirata like you noted. 'Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.' George Santayana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeR Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Definitely Vermicularia. V. sprirata seems reasonable.
