Gloucestershire Molluscs
Gryphea

Hock Cliff in Gloucestershire must be one of the best locations in the country for collecting Gryphea. We found dozens of them lying partly exposed on the shoreline. They took little or no effort to retrieve and had the minimum of matrix attached.
This species grew to quite a size, the largest stretches some 8cm, easily dwarfing those we found at Aust and Charmouth.
