Summary
A limpet shell, probably no later than late 19th/early 20th century. Kept in with a collection of fossils, rocks and minerals, but with no indication of where it was found. It is almost flat and heavily calcified on the surface, but the radiating ridges can still be seen. due to the calcification, it is impossible to see the colouration and identify the type of limpet.
