A beautiful shell

[pambosk]

Ok This and many more I found on "Paniotis formation" in Limassol lets call it that, coz I can't find it on the maps, but after cross referencing from 3 geological maps it is supposed to be Miocene territory.  

As i mentioned before that formation is a small oval shaped hill 3-4-5km from the sea, 3x6km on top with steep edges, about 100m tall. And at some point I found some sedimentary formations moving in nicely shaped curves and after that huge formations full of shells corals sponges maybe some fish, plants who knows..Those formations are 4m high above ground but i am guessing they go well bellow as well and 100m2 or more or less. I ll  take my camera and get u some photos on site better. 

But I picked a few stuff and here u go

 

1)this shell,(or inner cast, but I think not)  bright orange, yellow, black and beige colors on its upper surface, as many shapes on those formations.

 

2)this one shell with a different finish on one side

 

3) a mollusk cast, I believe it belonged to a species like the one next to it.  The actual mollusk on the right I found on the beach I think, so I has to be a modern one. But the cast is from that formation area

 

4)  3mm diameter 5mm length tube shaped, composed by many linear crystals of brown and beige colors.  

 

5) coral or plant or something else?

I'm stumped.

I think the fossils here are inside casts with the shell removed. The first picture shows the underside of some tube worms that were attached to the original shell.

Very hard to make an id on internal casts.
