Xenophora crispa, Pleistocene, Puglia, Italy

Nice your Italian bunch, Henry :rolleyes:

Especially, I am impressed with this so strange species :o ''Xenophora'' means in Greek ''foreign (things) bearing''. And actually these odd snails collect several shells, corals, stones etc and attach them to their shells for camouflage. If completed it's a collection of shells itself. Unfortunately the attacments to your specimen are gone with the so many traces left on the shell. Otherwise, it would be like this :)

That is very cool... I guess it's a "spineless urchin" right now then :D:P

Thanks Astrinos for sharing! ;)

Hi Coco.

It's about a recent specimen I have found into internet and unfortunately not in my fossil hunting area :( I have a lot of fossil shells but nothing like this. Simply, I am impressed from these weird creatures and I do believe that Henry will not be bothered if you can show your beauty here :)

I don't wish to disrupt Henry's subject about his beautiful fossil collection, but I put small photos of my recent Xenophora with its small shells stuck on it. The 3rd one shows the bottom of the shell.
