Bronzviking Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Hi, I found this external mold shell on Honeymoon beach, Florida USA. It's about 2" long and 3/4" on the widest end. Unfortunately it is broken and worn on the right edge, but I still thought it was a cool find. It's limestone and has about 3 more shell imprints on the flip side (not shown). This was an unusual shape so I made a clay mold to better see the shape (3rd photo)I looked through many seashell books and narrowed it down to Eastern Turritella or Florida Cerith. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 I'd say you're on the right track. Unfortunately I can't help you any further. Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixgill pete Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 I will agree that it is an external mold from a turritella type shell. I am not sure it can be identified any further than that. @MikeR any thoughts on this?
