    An Anomia ephippium, found in a sandbank in the city of The Hague. This is technically an ex-situ find, because the city itself isn't really a location for finding fossils. The real location would be the Zandmotor or the North Sea; the bivalve here was brought with sands imported from the North Sea.

     

    This species is recognizable from the three muscle scars, the pearly shine and the weird little white thing in the hinge area (3rd picture).
