Fossil species
Fossil specimens of Turritella incrassata The genus is known from the Cretaceous to the Recent periods.[ 90]
The shells are quite frequently found as fossils , and the carbonate stone made from large quantities of Turritella shells is often referred to as "Turritella limestone", or, if silicified , "Turritella agate". Both varieties of this stone are commonly sold as polished cabochons .
Turritella agate, in which the fossils are a different genus One variety of "Turritella agate", that from the Green River Formation in Wyoming, is a fossiliferous rock which does indeed contain numerous high-spired snail shells. However, contrary to the common name, these snails are not in the marine genus Turritella , instead they are freshwater snails in the species Elimia tenera Pleuroceridae from the Eocene epoch.[ 91] sandstone to a dense chalcedony . This dense silicified rock is popular with gem and mineral hobbyists, as well as with New Age practitioners.
