A snail of the Turritella species lived in its shallow waters.
The shell of this snail is a small, long, tapering spire with numerous whorls.
Today, fossil remains of the Turritella shell are found on the edges of Delaney Rim in south central Wyoming.
The shell material has been completely replaced by agate and chalcedony.
Agate and chalcedony are names given to a microscopically crystallized variety of quartz – the main component of which is silica.
The Turritella agate may be tumbled and polished for weeks to give it a slick and shiny surface.
