Is this something old or relatively new?

[Stef X]

Hello everyone, I hope you are all well!

does anyone recognise this? Is it something oldish or is it a relatively new species? 

It was found in a stream in Surrey in England  (Great Britain) near the Wealdon Clay areas. 

The second image is 6 pictures but normal exposure (bar The ultraviolet one) on the left and then with an x-ray filter on the right of the black dots down the middle.

The first image is both sides , except for I cut and paste the picture on ; it’s not two separate ones.

and excuse the metric system ruler! 

Kind regards

Just judging by the pics alone, these look recent to me.  They appear to be original shell and not fossilized.

looks recent to me also

Agree with non fossil snail shells.

I agree with recently dead.  While some late-pleistocene and holocene mollusc fossils retain some periostracum occasionally, I've never seen one as pristine as yours.  It looks like Helisoma sp. (Freshwater, aquatic).  Similar to H. trivolvis.

That looks like a modern snail shell, I've seen very similar shells in Florida.

[Ludwigia]

I agree with the others. Looks unanimous so far.

Never make excuses for the metric system. It is we in the States who should beg forgiveness from the rest of the globe for our reluctance to get with the program.

 

Also, agree with the others that they do look to be modern land snail shells.

 

Cheers.

It looks like Planorbarius, maybe Planorbarius corneus.

similar ones in my collection, from Romania

Oh shame! I thought if it was old it could give me a better date on These iliums  and vertebrae  I found near it and the Sauropod breast plate and top of femur...amongst other things.

i think it’s early cret and late Jurassic.

 

oh well! 

Thanks anyway guys!

Hi,

 

I was thinking of recent Planorbis.
