Gastropod Fossils

Gastropod fossils represent one of the most diverse and widespread groups of ancient mollusks, including snails and slugs that have inhabited marine, freshwater, and terrestrial environments for hundreds of millions of years. These fossilized shells, ranging from simple spirals to intricate, beautifully patterned forms, provide valuable insights into evolutionary biology, paleoecology, and past environmental conditions. Gastropod fossils are commonly found in sedimentary rocks such as limestone, shale, and sandstone, spanning geological periods from the Cambrian to the present. Highly prized by fossil collectors, paleontologists, and educators, gastropod fossils help reconstruct ancient habitats and track changes in climate and sea levels over time. Globally sourced from fossil-rich sites, these fossils are not only scientifically important but also popular for their aesthetic appeal in natural history collections and educational displays.
