Hi All,

It's been two years since I posted and also two years since I went on the same beach as the rock I found with what looked like a Dino print in.

last week we went to the beach in between Anglesey and I picked this up which looks like the imprint of a shell of sorts?

Any ideas of type or age?

Fosil shell.webp

Thanks and glad to be posting back on here.

Neil
 
As you are in England I would say a good chance it is from the Devonian era ("Devon" as in the layer around that locality where it gets it's name.

The shell itself appears to be part of the gastropod Bucanopsis
