Guguita2104 Posted August 13, 2015 Author Share Posted August 13, 2015 I don't know if it is just a modern gastropod or a beautiful fossil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 The luster on the inside would lead Me to think it is a modern gastropod, and not a fossil.

ynot Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I think it is probably not very old-- at most in the 100 thousand year range. Tony Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

Rockwood Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I think as a rule if something that looks like this is a fossil they will be quite common and well known in the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abyssunder Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 In my opinion, is a well predated modern gastropod.

Herb Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 looks to me like a gastropod from the Pliocene/Pleistocene age with a leached calcium deposit on it.
