Dinocochlea

A model of Dinocochlea with Natural History Museum research scientist Paul Taylor as a scale.

Dinocochlea ingens is a trace fossil specimen held in the Natural History Museum of London. It is a symmetrical helicospiral several metres in length that was famously unexplained until shown in 2009 to be a concretion formed around the burrow of a worm.[1]
