New Members Philip Ogley Posted March 8 New Members Posted March 8 I recently came across a fossilised shell in a chalk cliff in Normandy, France, near the town of Livarot. There were other shells and invertebrates, but this was very clear and beautiful. It's only about 2 cm wide, and I was wondering if anyone could advise me what it might be? In advance, thanks. 2

Could even be a brachiopod as far as I know. depending on the layers age. Best Regards, J 1 Try to learn something about everything and everything about something Thomas Henry Huxley
