Comment: | One euomphaloid gastropod is present. It is low-spired and has a flattened upper whorl face. The specimen is probably generically indeterminate, but by throwing caution entirely to the winds one could say that this was Helicotoma. If this wild identification on inadequate material is correct, this collection would also be Ordovician. There are assorted fillings in the rock with circular cross-sections. These might be snails, but preservation is so different from the one authentic gastropod that I want nothing to do with them. |
