MOROPUS Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Hi boys.. it is MB again !!! As I told you before, I have the luck to have a lot of different levels of age in my town or very close of it. Here are some nice shells of gastropods from a Thyrrenian fossilized beach, 10 minutes from home They are Strombus bubonius, Cymathium dolliarium and Conus sp. Ohhhh; I love those Early pleistocene shells! Have you got different ones? By the way; they are labeled in the reverse order Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest N.AL.hunter Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Is that internal picture from the insides of a brachiopod? Amazing how something so fragile can be preserved like that for so many years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I love it when the lophophore is preserved! Excellent fossils!

fig rocks Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Coco, your shells are gorgeous! I had a huge modern shell collection about 20 yrs ago which included a sea turtle shell that was probably 2' x 3' but I sold them all when I moved. I'm still kicking myself for doing that!

Eocene from Champagne, France Bordeaux produces marvelous shells as well. Wine and Fossils - what could be better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
