1 year, 8 months ago1 year, 8 months ago@stephanie-morris Lovely fossil, it definitely is a gastropod! You can put gastropoda in for classification. If you put in geochronology and lithostratigraphy I can mark this research grade. You can figure those out by using the app Rockd. Let me know if you have any questions please let me know and tag me if you finish!
