ASU has just received this lovely fossil snail from Fred Skillman, an amateur entomologist who found it in a wash on private land near Delicate Arch, Arches National Park, Utah. It is such a treasure for me because it actually has what appears to be fossilized animal and an operculum which became separated when he was cleaning off caked-on dirt. I just had to share with all of you. We think it may date back to the Jurassic.
