Description
My father was working in Egypt and became acquainted with an archeologist who was unearthing different fossils and artifacts. The man gave my father one of the fossil snails. The snail dates back to the humid phase in Egypt (130,000 years) when many parts of the desert was covered with the sea and lakes.
There are several articles about the discoveries of the snails on the internet. For example: http://www.innovations-report.com/html/reports/earth_sciences/report-40064.html
