#FossilFriday Not to be outdone by Isaac Newton who is buried beneath a gastropod fossil in Westminster Abbey, the famous geologist Charles Lyell’s gravestone is Carboniferous crinoidal limestone full of columnals of these ‘sea-lilies’.

Happy #fossilfriday
Here is a very cool #parsitic #platycerid gastropod. I remember my advisor used to call them poop snails 😂

Isaac Newton is buried beneath a fossil snail as I discovered yesterday when visiting Westminster Abbey. Near the centre of his gravestone is a rather nice section of a gastropod, probably from the Carboniferous.

Very cool! Thanks for sharing! I missed seeing the gastropod sev yrs ago at Newton's gravesite in Westminster Abbey. A reason to return. But, last month, saw a large nautiloid fossil on a step at Piazzo San Marco in Venice.

Specifically, it's the Long-tailed Semi-Slug (Ibycus rachelae).
A SNAIL is a gastropod with a shell big enough to fit all its soft organs into.
A SLUG has little to no shell.
A SEMI-SLUG has a shell too small to fit its organs into, which may be why this one tends to "coil up".

The Atlantic Deer Cowrie (Macrocypraea cervus) is the largest of all cowries. These two specimens are both over 120 mm in length. They are native to Florida through to Brazil.
