DenBoy Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Rhynchonella parvirostris found on the beach in Shanklin Isle of Wight, just past Fishermans Cottage. It took me ages to identify them but glad I took the time as it seems they have only ever been found in two locations on the Isle of Wight. I have left one in matrix as I think it should look great with gentle polish.

DenBoy Posted December 4, 2016 Author Share Posted December 4, 2016 Thank you MOTM, Yes it is a great site, It is one of the sites I used to identify them, I also have found zipcodezoo.com to be quite useful for seeing if there known in that location (although site seems to be down at the moment).
