Beautiful fossil specimen of Epitonium scalare preserved in its natural sedimentary matrix. The shell measures 3 cm and is displayed on a 7 × 10 cm original matrix slab, creating an aesthetically balanced and stable presentation piece. This specimen shows a clear predation hole, evidence of ancient ecological interaction. Such traces are typically attributed to drilling gastropods and add significant scientific interest to the fossil. The delicate axial ribs and high-spired morphology are well preserved and clearly visible. A refined Miocene marine fossil combining aesthetic appeal and paleobiological significance. Species: Epitonium scalare Age: Miocene (5–23 million years ago) Preservation: Natural shell in original matrix Special feature: One visible predation drill hole Shell size: 3 cm Matrix size: 7 × 10 cm Condition: Good preservation with natural wear consistent with age
