Gregory Kruse Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Hello all, I need some help identifying this gastropod. It is from the Babcock Ranch northeast of Cape Coral and Ft. Myers. We collected these fine specimens from some of the "spoils" near the golf course. It appears to be a gastropod, but that is as far as I can go with the identification. Does anyone have any idea what the age and formation would be at this former quarry site? Most of my references would say "undifferentiated Pilo-Pleistocene deposits. Attached is a photo and a kmz link to the site. Thank you in advance! Greg Kruse Casper, WY Babcock Ranch.kmz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Looks something like Planorbis to me. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifbrindacier Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I agree, it's a planorbis. https://www.fossilshells.nl/Flor/florpleipliga192.html "On ne voit bien que par le coeur, l'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux."
