Please can you help me identify this shell?
It measures 3mm and was found inland (East Midlands, England) approx 4metres down in bed rock (10,000+ years old) containing shell fragments and amazingly this little one was found and carefully removed - IN TACT! <img src="smile/eek.gif" alt="smile/eek.gif" style="border:0" />
I wonder if (Paul Monfils particularly!) may be able to identify the species please!
