Rosemary Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Is this a gastropod? The sample is 1.5 cm long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darktooth Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Can we have a view of the side? I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosemary Posted May 20, 2019 Author Share Posted May 20, 2019 I haven't been able to wrench it from the rock yet, but here's the other end in case it helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manticocerasman Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 yes it is a fossil of a gastropod growing old is mandatory but growing up is optional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Kmiecik Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Don't try to remove it from the matrix until you have another, better preserved specimen to take its place in case of "oops". Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
