Here is a very nice specimen of a Silurian gastropod. This fossil snail is Platyostoma niagarense from the Waldron Shale of Indiana. The original quarry is now filled with water and closed to collecting. There is a very nice example of this gastropod on the plate. The fossil is extremely 3-dimensional and exhibits fine detail. The coiling pattern of the mollusk is well defined - even the very tiny coils at the top of the specimen is intact. The dark brown fossil contrast beautifully with the light-colored matrix. The snail is well showcased on the large plate of shale that also includes a brachiopod. This is a great specimen of a Silurian gastropod from this classic site.
