Fossil Gastropods – Ampullina & Clavilithes willemetti (Dehayes) – Middle Eocene, Lutetian – Mourne, Damery, France

Authentic Fossil Gastropods – Ampullina & Clavilithes willemetti (Dehayes) – Middle Eocene, Lutetian – Mourne, Damery, France

About the Fossils:

This is a high-quality fossil gastropod specimen featuring Ampullina and Clavilithes willemetti (Dehayes), preserved from the Middle Eocene Lutetian stage (~48-41 million years ago). These beautifully fossilized marine snails were part of an ancient warm-sea ecosystem that flourished in what is now Mourne, Damery, France.

The Ampullina genus is known for its rounded, smooth shell structure, while Clavilithes willemetti features a more elongated, ornate form. These gastropods belonged to the rich and diverse marine fauna of the Eocene epoch, thriving in tropical and subtropical seas.

Geology & Formation:

Geological Age: Middle Eocene, Lutetian (~48-41 million years ago)

Gemuary 2025 Day 18: Turritella Agate

Turritella Agate, aka Elimia Agate, is a form of chalcedony stuffed full of the fossils of Elimia Tenera snails! The area where they are found, Green River in Wyoming, was once a riverbed.

A gastropod fossil of a Voluta alfaroi alfaroi from the Limón Group in Río Banano, Limón Province, Costa Rica. While this Miocene aged subspecies of V. alfaroi is not particularly rare, fossils from Costa Rica are not often seen. This genus of predatory sea snail or volute still roams around the oceans today.

A little distraction on a somewhat stressful day: a neat rock that my sister found and gave to me, and a snail shell I found! (Also, if anyone knows anything about fossils and recognizes these, please let me know!)

These beautifully fossilized marine snails were part of an ancient warm-sea ecosystem that thrived in what is now Mourne, Damery, France.

The Ampullina genus is known for its rounded, smooth shell structure, while Voluta willemett exhibits an elongated, spiral form typical of predatory volute gastropods. These marine snails lived in shallow tropical and subtropical waters, contributing to the biodiversity of the Eocene period.

the incredibly close call of my mom asking what fic I'm writing tomorrow before changing subject

me: so tomorrow, the plan is to start with writing my essay for academic readings, then do the laundry like you asked, and then I need to watch an episode of House for a fanfic

my mom: oh, what episode

me: that season 2 one where chase's dad dies

my mom: what is that fanfic even gonna be about?

me, thinking about trying to explain "wilson is a werewolf and chase is magic and through silly shenanigans that specific episode will be canon-diverged":

my mom: hm, my plans for tomorrow are going to work. I still need to work on my crochet vest for the baby, too

me: oh yeah I crocheted like 4 whole lines for the blanket today!

my mom: woah!

[echinoid-fossils-on-the-rocks]

The first sand gravel Echinoid!!

After the handful of brachiopodenchalk, fragments of polished round corals & the belemnite on the gravel beds and sand. 🛤️

Also found this piece with the imprint, not certainly sure if it is from brachiopode shell or an ammonite. It looks alike like an typical famous UK pyrite ammonite. But here ???

But that means all of the ten thousand of fragmented rocks 🪨 on the entire railroad tracks on my area and beyond since the construction works from last summer could be have some fragmented parts of their imprints.

Would be cool but then it means over 8 miles along of an 🚞🛤️ track too check up…….. shit.

Also was greeted with a lot of snails 🐌 on the track of the railroads back from work, two today, yesterday were a lot others in brown out.

We had Weinbergschnecken commonly many here long ago, the past years awful barely seen any of them but now plenty of an new population after the showers of raining.
