Help with some micro-gastropods from the Middle Jurassic of the UK

[IsaacTheFossilMan]

Hey all!

 

Today I bring you some teeny tiny gastropods!

All Inferior Oolite Group, Cotswolds UK. Every formation. There are a few different species that I have described here:

 

Species A: "helter-skelter". A very very loose spiral, resembling a helter skelter...

 

Species B: very neat loose spiraled.

 

Species C: very tight spiral, very common

 

Species D: fascinatingly bumpy textured spiral. Reminds me of a wallpaper!

 

Measurements in cm.

If anyone else comes across the same fossils (hey from the future!), I've been looking for ages for a paper on Oolite fossils.

 

Hopefully now we'll up the visibility of this information?

 

Here's the most related paper that I could find (same age):
