whelk fossil
Lightning Ridge, Australia
exceptionally rare and beautiful specimen.
A whelk is a type of marine gastropod mollusc (similar to a sea snail) with a spiral shell.
These creatures lived in ancient seas and are commonly fossilised in limestone or sedimentary rocks globally.
At Lightning Ridge, however, the fossilisation is unlike anywhere else...
Lightning Ridge in New South Wales is world-famous for precious black opal and a smaller number of opalised fossils, including:
Marine invertebrates like whelks
Bivalves, ammonites, and belemnites
Occasionally, even vertebrates like turtles and dinosaurs
