Florida Gastropod Identification Help - Fossil Conch Shell


Gregory Kruse

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

 

I found this conch in N. Cape Coral, 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?  Is it Strombus floridanus? Thank you!
