This #FossilFriday , we're headed to the beaches of St. Mary's County, Maryland.
Ecphora gardnerae gardnerae (Wilson) is an extinct marine snail that dates from the later Cenozoic. Officially named as Maryland's state fossil in 1994, it is a part of the Muricidae family.
cheyenne🆗️ obviously hasn't been a steady trend for the whole Cenozoic either. New Antarctic ice sheets thawed quite a bit at the end of the Oligocene and then reglaciated in the Miocene. the Western ice sheet shrunk a bit during the early Pliocene as well
