Hello everyone. I thought I would share a few pics of three recently found Ecphora quadricostata. I found these back in June on the Tar River in Edgecomb, County North Carolina. They are from The Pliocene Yorktown Formation, Rushmere Member. What makes one of these so special (the largest one too) is that it has a complete spire. Ecphora are very rarely found with complete spires. This one was dug directly out of the formation out just below the water line.
The three are also different sizes from very small to a rather large specimen.
