Tidgy's Dad Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 That's a great find, Matt! Looks like a gastropod/snail to me! Nice one. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeargleSchmeargl Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Size reference? Every single fossil you see is a miracle set in stone, and should be treated as such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miocene_Mason Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Looks like a strophomenid to me “...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...

fossilcrazy Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Hi Matt, You found a Megastrophia concava. Nice catch. They aren't that common and commonly fall in pieces during the collection process. You have a Brachiopod. Clam implies a Bivalve which it is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
