Can we have a view of the side?

I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie.

I haven't been able to wrench it from the rock yet, but here's the other end in case it helps.

yes it is a fossil of a gastropod :)

growing old is mandatory but growing up is optional.

You would likely destroy the fossil and have a broken steinkern anyway unless you took great pains to prepare it.

Don't try to remove it from the matrix until you have another, better preserved specimen to take its place in case of "oops".

Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!
