Gregory Kruse Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 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 ?Pleistocene age, possibly the Caloosahatchee Fm. Can someone help me verify and identify this fossil? Family Buccinidae? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plantguy Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Cool find. Looks like one of the Fasciolaria's. Mike or one of the others will be able to tell you more...we are very blessed with finding these and many other gastropods around here!

minnbuckeye Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Fasciolaria apicina looks like a good possibility. It occurs in the Caloosahatchee Fm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
