@Brian James Maguire

Those are some potentially nice finds

Looking forward to seeing them prepped. 

Yes i have high hopes for some of the finds from today, hopefully some of the coiled nautiloids are complete

I am fairly certain it is a gastropod.

Euomphalus pentangulatus will be my guess at this stage of prepping.

Very nice. :)
