Look how big our African land snails are now! They are roughly gaining between 1g - 3g per week. The young people in the ASDAN group have really cared for and nurtured these amazing creatures.

Paleodrama #4. How not to drill as a predatory gastropod? Drilling between the whorls of a gastropod on the suture. The predator did probably not feed through this incomplete hole. Poor predator, lucky prey! #FossilFriday #shell #predation #gastropod #snail #paleontology #fossil
