abyssunder Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 I agree with Coco. It looks like a Gryphaea sp., maybe Gryphaea arcuata. 1 " We are not separate and independent entities, but like links in a chain, and we could not by any means be what we are without those who went before us and showed us the way.

hemipristis Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Awfully large for a Gryphaea sp., though I'm only speaking in regards to the ones I've seen from the U.S. How about Exogyra sp? 1 'Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.'

ClearLake Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 I'm not familiar with Italian fossils, but I'm with @hemipristis, if I found it here, it would definitely be an Exogyra with that spiral growth pattern. Very nice looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
