DE&i Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Struggling to i.d. these two gastropods while rehousing them in a new box, this is the note that was left inside the original box by the owner of the fossils. Any help would be appreciated as to their identity.

abyssunder Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Hi there! I'm wondering if the first one couldn't be a Neptunea species. Maybe Neptunea lyrata ? If I'm not wrong, Neptunea is present in the Pleistocene Red Crag.

DE&i Posted August 21, 2017 Author Share Posted August 21, 2017 Thank you @abyssunder Neptunea lyrata seems to be a likely candidate.

DE&i Posted August 27, 2017 Author Share Posted August 27, 2017 Hi @Coco thank you for the link. Is it for a extant species. Or for a fossil as is the case here.

Taogan Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Looks like Spinucella tetragona to me, or it could be another Spinucella species. http://www.fossilshells.nl/grbrplei05.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abyssunder Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Hmm. It is very tricky. Maybe it's Nucella, as Coco said. Possibly Nucella incrassata? comparative picture from here " We are not separate and independent entities, but like links in a chain, and we could not by any means be what we are without those who went before us and showed us the way.
