CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT GASTROPODS
Known for its splendid array of gastropod fossils, Florida is home to many fossil shell species in abundance. The nature of finding a gastropod fossil in a shell pit, for example, usually means that it will be heavily weathered and seriously damaged. Not so with this beautifully preserved pair of SUNDIAL SHELLS, known as Architectonica nobilis.
Do not confuse these genuine fossils with inexpensive MODERN shells available in shell shops from this species. One is clean inside and one has its interior still filled with the original fossil shell matrix of the pit from which it they were collected. This prehistoric gastropods lived 5 million years ago, crawling around the ocean floor when the massive Megalodon shark still terrorized the warm waters off the southeastern Atlantic coast of prehistoric North America. Guaranteed NO REPAIR and NO RESTORATION.
