PaleoOrdo Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Last weekend I visited a roadcut in Hadeland, Norway, with rocks from Late Ordovician (Katian) in the Gagnum formation, and cut a rock into two parts with my hammer and found this strange fossile, which also was cut into two. The length of the speciemen is 10-12 mm long. Anyone have an idea of what is can be? The first two pictures is from one of the two parts of the rock, the last tree from the other part. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Kmiecik Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 I'm seeing the cross-section of a gastropod. 1 Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen gastropods with straight line structure in the area before, in the next younger Kalvsjøen "gastropod formation". Seems the gastropods in this older formation, at least in the current area, are more rare to find and not so well preserved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
