Gastropods From Mississippi Ditch... Cretaceous... Not Sure Of Name.
thesterlingmutt posted a topic in Fossil ID
Okay, I found these in Mississippi Selma Chalk Formation. Gastropods.... not sure what brand/flavor/species... these are the predacious ones aren't they? Naticacea? Please note: lack of polish. Sometimes I behave, and don't give in to the Lapidary Force... Thanks The Mutt

These photos are of a thin section I made from a Gastropod fossil I purchased from the Rock Shed. Initially, under plain white light the slide looked rather drab, but once the polarizers were put in place the fill matrix inside the Gastropod showed many coloured minerals. The photos are of a cross section of the middle of the Gastropod.

My family just returned from a three day, New Years visit to Boerne ("Bernie"), Texas. On our way home, we stopped of by a construction site on the northwest side of San Antonio. I believe it was Glen Rose Formation. We found some nice specimens, including gastropods, brachiopods and even some echinoids. The largest specimens are shown below. The scale is in centimeters. My question is, are these specimens Tylostoma sp. or Lunatia pedernales? I've seen them identified on TFF as Tylostoma. But in the HGMS Texas Cretaceous Gastropods book, they describe Tylostoma of similar sizes as having a spire 50% of the total length of the shell. However, the Lunatia pedernales is described as having a spire 25% of the total length. I would just like some clarification. I'm leaning toward Lunatia, but I'm easy to persuade by those with far more knowledge and experience... Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi all, I am back with a few more questions. I've found some interesting fossils on the bedding planes of my Devonian cores and I need some help to have an idea of what they are or what they might be. There are overall 9 images as you will see in my replies. I would appreciate if you can help me to figure these out. Cheers Korhan

Hi, this is my first post on TTF for fossil ID from Malta. A friend showed me some fossils and wished to ID them for him. I already made some research, and one of them should be a Conus sp. In my pic, the boxes are 5cm, so the conus measures an impressive (for a beginner like me!) 12.5cm. My friend picked these from the island of Gozo, and I think from the North West of the sister island. The small mollusc lost detail but have the same conical shape of the larger one. No idea about the shell. Thank you

When my wife and I visited Jeff's magical "Cookiecutter Creek" to stock up on some micro-matrix to sort through while the Peace River reloads the gravel beds throughout the summer months, we found a number of bivalve and gastropod shells in this marine fossil deposit. Many of the shells were rather beat up but a few of the bivalves were complete (with a matching set of valves) and a few of the gastropods were acceptably intact enough to collect. The most interesting one we found were a few intact conch shells. From some online image searches I believe this may be (or be related to) Melongena corona, the Florida Crown Conch. The most distinctive and eye-catching aspect of this species is the row of sharp protuberances not only around the upper shoulder of the whorl but also along a second row closer to the anterior canal (opposite the apex). The examples I found seem similar to the shells of the extant Crown Conch but from what I seem to see online the protuberances on the shoulder seem to point more upward toward the apex (forming a bit more of a "crown" in appearance) where on the fossils these points are directed much more outward. Anybody on the forum familiar with the fossil gastropods commonly found in the southwest portion of Florida who would be willing to confirm or suggest a better ID for these intriguing little gastropods? Cheers. -Ken

Hi, can any members help me identify this fossil gastropod I bought a few years' back from a junk shop? I don't know its age or its location. It could be Jurassic from Dorset, southern England, but that's only a guess. So, too, is my own identification, that it's an inner cast of a homotoma. No idea as to the species, though, and it could well be something else. Any sea slug lovers out there?

I'm new at this so hope I am doing the right thing here. My wife and I are hobbyists in fossil hunting and also rocks and minerals. We live in Dallas Texas area and my wife found a very unusual looking fossil in someone's yard. It was dark and from the look of it, it looked like a vertrbrae of some sort. But I've been told that it isn't and my wife cleaned it up and it shows other fossils around it as well as a druzied area inside. It measures 4" long by 3" at widest point. Someone told us it might be a gastropod. But I never have seen one like this. Any ideas? Thanks so much. Joe
