Rock-Guy-17 Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Took a quick road trip to a fossil locality in western New York over the weekend, a bit south of Rochester in the finger lakes region. Amongst the usual fossils I dig up at this locality I found a very well preserved gastropod that was larger than any I have seen in my time collecting. I was hoping someone could help me identify the species. Thank you! Took a field picture in case I destroyed the fossil while trying to grab it. It popped out after a long and slow excavation. After washing the detail is much more visible, including possible predatory boring marks? Is this the fairly common Naticonema lineata? If so this is probably 4x larger any I have found perviously. Bonus Eldredgeops trilobite that I found on this same trip, needs some minor repair work. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 I think you are correct with Naticonema lineata. Nice finds! 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

Ludwigia Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 I agree with Tim. And that trilo is cool with the drifted eye. 1 Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
