4.7" Devonian Fossil Gastropod Internal Mold - Issoumour, Morocco

This is an interesting, 4.7" long, Devonian gastropod fossil from Issoumour, Morocco. It is the internal mold of the gastropod that has been mechanically prepared from the hard limestone it was found in.

The base of the rock has been cut flat so that it displays nicely on a hard surface without the need for a stand.

Gastropods, or snails, have been around since the Late Cambrian period. The class Gastropoda contains a vast total of named species, second only to the insects in overall number. There are 611 known families of gastropods, of which 202 families are extinct and appear only in the fossil record.
