A recent trip to look at some Gastropods from the early Devonian. A pretty difficult and exposed spot that takes a bit of a hike in to get to. I would guess that this isn't often visited and scientific papers describing species from this spot are many decades old. Some fantastic specimens some of which are encrusted with pyrite.

Cool finds!

Do you know the genus?

They look similar to Bembexia we find in Middle Devonian New York, USA.

Genera from the family Pycnomphalidae seems to be represented in abundance
