Description: | A fragmented gastropod specimen of Poleumita sp. measuring (29mm x 28mm x 16mm). The gastropod is dark grey in colour with a significant amount of pale brown micrite matrix covering a majority of the specimen. On the rear of the specimen there is a 11mm brachiopod fragment. Five ridges joined by smaller growth lines can be seen on a single side of the keel where matrix is not covering the detail. This specimen was from the Silurian Much Wenlock Limestone Formation, Nodular Member which is approximately 425my. This was collected from the Wrens Nest, Dudley, West Midlands. CB
