Natural Tylostoma fossils in good state of conservation.
Tylostomas are a genus of marine gastropods characterized by their coiled shell with a large last turn. They can reach up to 10 cm in size.
They lived on the surface of the shallow seabed.
The fossil includes a label with the name, period and provenance and is attached to a 4 cm square cardboard box.
*The price is per unit (a single cardboard box of the four shown in the photo)
Since the samples are natural, you will receive a piece similar to the one in the photograph. The fossils come in cardboard boxes and are glued to a porex base with hot silicone; these can be removed using ethyl alcohol without damaging the fossil. The size is approximate.
