A lot of the clams have fallen from the matrix on this specimen, but the shapes and minerals that took its place are stunning! There is also some growth in the crevasses.-

This second specimen as well has a lot of clams that are visible. As I was studying this piece and seeing the side views of both Clam 01 and Clam 02 I realized these two specimens at one time were attached to each other many years ago it looks as if it broke in half? I will upload a pic of both halves together. -

These fossils are all over this 333 g specimen There are several small clams on the (b) side and two rather large clams on the (a) side. The specimen, like many of the items in this collection appear to be roughly split into sections as if being divided to recipients? (this may have been the practice in those days to get investors?) This specimen in the "split" shows several side views of clams insides. (No evidence of pearls as of yet, but I'm looking) -

Here's a strange one. I found plentiful piles of what I thought were casts and internal molds in the iron-rich St. Mary's clay of Virginia last year. Loose clam fossils riddled blocks of talus. I was able to wiggle some out of their ancient resting places without s much as scratching the matrix. Generally that's because the shell disintegrated, leaving a void between the mold and the cast. If you look closely, however, what looks here like an internal mold isn't. The sculpture on the surface is clearly the outside of the shell. If it were the inside, you would see round protrusions where the ligament attached to a depression in the shell, not concentric ridges. Shown here is the most distinct of my specimens, but not the only one. Any thoughts? Mercenaria campechiensis, Miocene, VIrginia
