Auspex Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 The fossils there are Miocene, according to this: LINK "There has been an alarming increase in the number of things I know nothing about." - Ashleigh Ellwood Brilliant “Try to learn something about everything and everything about something.” - Thomas Henry Huxley >Paleontology is an evolving science. >May your wonders never cease!

Coryander Posted September 1, 2015 Author Share Posted September 1, 2015 Here's a few more gastropods. Would you wish to comment further? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abyssunder Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Most of them are internal molds of gastropods, but in the last matrix at the right I think is an embedded oyster (the big one with somehow irregular shape).

Coryander Posted September 2, 2015 Author Share Posted September 2, 2015 Yes, you are wright. Actually, the predominance of fossils on that place was of oysters. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
