historianmichael Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 (edited) Many months ago I visited the famed Whiskey Bridge locality. Perhaps due to laziness or a desire to collect other fossils in Texas I have only now gotten around to cleaning, consolidating, and identifying my finds. Using the Emerson book I have largely been successful in identifying my finds. However, I have been stumped on the last dozen or so gastropods. Most of them are tiny, and likely juveniles, which has made identification even tougher. I was wondering if anyone recognized these gastropods. They are Middle Eocene in age, from the Stone City. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance! #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 #8 #9 #10 #11 #12 Edited February 24, 2022 by historianmichael 1 Follow me on Instagram (@fossil_mike) to check out my personal collection of fossils collected and acquired over more than 15 years of fossil hunting!

Lone Hunter Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 I think several of them are Cerithium, the third one looks like some I have that I'm pretty sure are Cerithium Turriculatum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieLynn Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 10 and 12 I have labeled as Hesperiturris nodocarinatus. 11 looks very much like it but has that slight variation of no nodes on the lower whorl. So not sure about that one. 7 I have labeled as Turritella nasuta And that is pretty much all the help I can give ya. And of course, all of these are tentative ID's...hopefully someone can give you firmer IDs. www.fossil-quest.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeR Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 #1 immature Ficopsis texana #5 Cochlespira #6 Fasciolariidae something like Levifusus. The Emmerson book should have it.
