Hi, @nirmal-rajah, would you be interested in improving the quality of this specimen by updating its taxonomic information? Thanks, Sam

I have such a soft spot for arthropods, @nirmal-rajah! These are gorgeous. Are they yours?

Hi Samantha yes these are in my collection, got these beauties three years ago from a friend in Utah.

I am so jealous!

Hi, @nirmal-rajah! If you want to add this specimen to our eMuseum, adding multiple photographs of it on a plain background from multiple angles would be very helpful! Also, don’t forget scale!

Definitely, I’ll post it tomorrow.

It looks like it has pretty solid mineral structure but that isn’t to say it had been carbonized first.

Hi, @nirmal-rajah, where did you find this? You might be able to constrain the age using Macrostrat: https://macrostrat.org/sift/#/

I saw similar pieces on the Maine coast

Hi, @nirmal-rajah – We can include some classification – Kingdom Animalia > Phylum Mollusca > Class Gastropoda . This will help with our new filtering system which will use classification to sort the fossils in our database!

hi what you have might be a turritella

hi, @nirmal-rajah – You can update the taxonomy for this specimen since you know the genus! If you type it into our taxon wizard on myfossil.org then it will autofill in the higher classification! Talk to you soon, Jen

thank you @jbauer just getting to know MyFossil app and it’s features. will update my other posts

Of course, @nirmal-rajah – feel free to reach out if you have any questions!
