This week is going to be a little different because I don’t really know the correct IDs of these Gastropods of southern England. The most common location are Shepherds Gutter and Barton Beds. Collected when I was at uni on the south coast.  I will try and ID at least one fossil a day but there are over 500 Gastropods know at these locations. If you see any mistaken with the IDs please let me know. Have a good week, Bobby

Part from recharging the IDs and photographing these gastropod, is they have need a little cleaning.  Simple work just wash in warm water. I  did notice the petrichor smell emanating from the drying shells. 
 

This is an interesting specimen
