VStergios Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Need help identifying this fossil. Found in Pleistocene marl deposits near the city of Rhodes (capital city of the island of Rhodes in Greece). It measures 5 cm in diameter. Unfortunately the top whorls are missing and only the last two whorls are preserved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you so much for the information - I've never seen one before (living or fossilised) so this little discovery makes me twice happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
