Gregory Kruse Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Hello, I found these gastropods in north 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 these fossils? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas.Dodson Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 I'll tag @MikeR in on one of these. He can probably answer all of the ones you posted. In the future it might be best to post all the ones from the same place in a single thread. It will probably be easier for people to keep track of and help identify them. Just a suggestion. It seems more likely something will slip through the forum cracks like this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregory Kruse Posted February 7, 2021 Author Share Posted February 7, 2021 Thanks Coco and Thomas, I will try to post within the same thread moving forward. I was under the impression that there was a file size limit for each post so that's why I posted individually. Thank you again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeR Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Olivella prefloralia and immature Turritella. If you can find a copy online, Olsson and Harbinson's 1953 publication Pliocene Mollusca of South Florida could help you with most of your finds.
