Antares Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 (edited) Hello! Can you please help me in identifying the marked fossils and give an estimation on their age? The fossils are found in my office's marble wall and floor coverings. There are many more fossils all over the building. The size of them are generally between 5 and 15cm. Thank you in advance!

Monica Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Those look to be high-spired gastropods to me! Very nice! As for age - I have no idea - do you by any chance know where the marble came from? That would help in determining the age of the fossils within it... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misha Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Some kind of gastropod, something like turritella. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abyssunder Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Welcome to the Forum! I suppose this is a solitary coral in oral view. Unfortunately we don't know the geological age of it. Knowing where the marble came from, also better close-up pictures of the specimens may help in the ID.
