sixgill pete Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 While hunting an area over the weekend I found a gastropod that I am hoping to ID. The spot is in Craven County and along the bank of the Neuse River in eastern North Carolina. I am fairly confident it is part of the James City Formation, Pleistocene. One of the most common things here is the kittenpaw oyster Plicatula marginata. Great white teeth are also a common find here. I have never seen this gastropod before, at least not that I can remember. It is very similar to Tegula sp. from the Yorktown Formation. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Raggedy Man Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 This may help, but believe me when I say I am not familiar with the fossils in your neck of the woods. I was able to find this. It may help you narrow your search, but this could also be it. Littoraria irrorata (Say, 1822) ...I'm back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixgill pete Posted November 15, 2016 Author Share Posted November 15, 2016 Thanks Raggedy Man. It sure does look like it. I will look into this tonight when I get in from work.

fifbrindacier Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 I am not an expert but it also looks like a kind of Turbo (Trochoidea).
