Today's fossil comes from long time ESCONI member Ralph Jewell. If you've been on a Braceville field trip, you've met Ralph. He very generously participate in the fossil dump.
This is a spectacular 3 whorl Annularia inflata from Pit 11. It opened via freeze/thaw back in mid-June. You don't find large ones like this very often. For more on Annularia, see Mazon Monday #60.
Thanks for sharing the beautiful fossil, Ralph!
