Brevicollis Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Hello, I got this gastropod, not sure if its fossil tho, gifted by my neighbour after her holiday trip to nothern france. No more location was named, and I really want to know the species. @Coco, do you have an idea ? 1 My account and something about me : My still growing collection : My paleoart : Im just a guy who really loves fossils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas.Dodson Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 An operculum from some snail as opposed to the shell which complicates things. Maybe some Naticid? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coco Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 It is certainly the operculum of a marine gastropod, but from there to know what species, or even what kind... What surprises me is the grain size of one of the faces, I have never seen that. 5 cm in diameter is quite large, we are dealing with a large shell. I do not see what it can belong to on the beaches of northern France.
