Stef X Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 (edited) 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 Edited December 16, 2018 by Stef X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darktooth Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Just judging by the pics alone, these look recent to me. They appear to be original shell and not fossilized. 1 I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ynot Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Agree with non fossil snail shells. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."

Peat Burns Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 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. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verydeadthings Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 That looks like a modern snail shell, I've seen very similar shells in Florida. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 I agree with the others. Looks unanimous so far. Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

abyssunder Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 It looks like Planorbarius, maybe Planorbarius corneus. picture from here similar ones in my collection, from Romania " We are not separate and independent entities, but like links in a chain, and we could not by any means be what we are without those who went before us and showed us the way.

Stef X Posted December 16, 2018 Author Share Posted December 16, 2018 (edited) 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! Edited December 16, 2018 by Stef X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coco Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Hi, I was thinking of recent Planorbis.
