izak_ Posted September 28, 2018 Author Share Posted September 28, 2018 This one shows the chambers well. And a cross section of a chamber. Note the siphuncle in the centre. More to come eventually... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tidgy's Dad Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Tremendous, and seemingly important finds! The trilobites are beautiful and the orthoconic nautiloids very exciting.. Any chance of some piccies of the brachiopod (s) ? Please. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
