Description
Gryphaea arcuata
A super present from a friend..
Gryphaea, is a genus of extinct oysters, marine bivalve mollusks in the family Gryphaeidae.
These fossils range from the Triassic to the Tertiary periods, (199.6 million - 33.9 million years old).
A classic location to find these fossils is Redcar, on the northeast coast of England. There used to be a common folk belief that carrying one of these fossils could prevent rheumatism

Those are some fierce "toenails", I'd hate to see what they'd do to the sheets. Wonderful objects!
