fifbrindacier Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 All i can say about this is that it is a gastropod. 1 "On ne voit bien que par le coeur, l'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux."

sixgill pete Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 If I remember right from one of your other posts, the area around Raubsville is Ordovician, Cambrian or Silurian. If this is correct this shell does not belong there. It is a gastropod possibly of the Genus Urosalpinx. This would be much much younger than the sediments. 1 Bulldozers and dirt Bulldozers and dirt behind the trailer, my desert Them red clay piles are heaven on earth I get my rocks off, bulldozers and dirt Patterson Hood; Drive-By Truckers May 2016 May 2012 Aug 2013, May 2016, Apr 2020 Oct 2022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miocene_Mason Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Your property used to be a trash heap right? Maybe somehow a marine snail got there, these are common in the Atlantic I believe. Oh, these species are predators and drill through oyster shells, must've fell in a batch of oysters and was discarded. 1 “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fifbrindacier Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Yes, a Muricidae. I think the identification of Urosalpinx Sixgill pete gave you is the good one. 1 "On ne voit bien que par le coeur, l'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux."

That made me laugh, mostly because I say that whenever I find a snail. “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
