A spiral gastropod fossil, partially to completely but faithfully replaced by translucent to opaque gypsum. Excellent condition. On a global scale, gypsum replacements of fossils are rare; of the 7370 gypsum photos hosted at Mindat, only four are obvious fossil replacements (and all from the Broken Cliffs locality). This example is in superb condition.
