Snails

Photo: Fossil Specimen, Snails

Fossil snails displayed on a water-worn boulder containing fossil bones and shells. It was uncovered in the excavations for PEP in 1977. These Bruclarkia barkeriana (Cooper) snails were found in a concentrated deposit which may indicate a gregarious type of organism. Certainly, they were the most common snail in that deposit.
