Cretaceous Snail Guts

This is a view looking down the innards of an eighty million year old snail, one of the giant rudistids of Greece.

The entire snail was tusk-shaped, and over 50 cm in length, about 12 in diameter. This view is about 4 cm wide, looking right down its fossilized gullet, hah! Do you suppose all the little bits of shell in the black matrix are remnant of its last supper?

It's now part of the Orliakas Limestone unit.
