Hello Folks,
Many years ago I received a specimen identified as a Pleurotomaria from
Jurassic deposits in England. I just retrieved it out of the archives
(otherwise known as the pile of boxes in my basement). It has a shoulder
band that might represent a filled-in slit, but no evidence of an open slit.
Does anyone have an opinion as to whether this is truly a Pleurotomaria? It
is an old fossil (fully petrified). You can see it via the link below
(hopefully - last time, folks had trouble with this). If anyone cannot open
the link, I'll be glad to send you the picture directly.
Paul M.
