BobWill Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Introducing a new species, genus... a new class of mollusc! It's the illusive Gastrammoniteopod confusis It comes from the Bull-feathers Fortmation in the Contentious Period. We don't yet know how it reproduced, achieved locomotion, ate or made #2 but we think it grew from the inside out like a balloon. Discovered by accident while entertaining my granddaughters with some modeling clay, the two halves were associated but not articulated, however they fit together perfectly! Proof positive we should spend more time with our families! Here's wishing Yuletide Felicitations to everyone on the FossilForum! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludwigia Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 And a Merry Christmas to you as well. Are your grandchildren going to write a paper about it? Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
