Description

From the Collection of Roger Furze

This is an exceptional and large fossil Gastropod steinkern from a German Collection recently acquired.

This is a Fossil Pseudomelania Gastropod. It comes from a collection that has spectacularly preserved museum quality specimens. This one is from the Jurassic Period found in France. It is a Pseudomelania. And this specimen comes not only with a specimen label card but also an 8 1/2 by 11 inch complete description of the location data. But that is not all, it also has collection data, who found it and much more information. The second picture in the gallery is but an example of the data sheets provided with each specimen.

This specimen is 3 7/8 inches. And the Fossil pseudomelania gastropod is extremely thick and well preserved. It is a complete specimen. But it also displays exceptional detail and preservation. Because the card and associated data sheet are in German, they may be difficult to read but google translator can help with the translations.

But translations aside, the data sheet is complete and very detailed. It is an exceptional piece so would look great in any Mollusk Collection and short of traveling to Germany I would dare say not available anywhere.
