AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The main gastropod shells are extremely intact, with growth lines and whorl patterns clearly visible on the shell surface. The mineralized shells are off-white, which contrasts sharply with the light brownish-yellow sandstone matrix. Several small shell fragments are also embedded in the matrix, including bivalve lobes and gastropod shells of different shapes, completely restoring the biological composition at that time.
