Finally got around to my bucket of unwashed rocks and discovered this. Don't know what to make of it, it's either Cretaceous or from QAL. It was so pretty wet I put a flat clear coat on the top side to bring out contrasting colors, bottom and side are natural. Kinda looks bonyish or turtlish heck I don't know!

Glycymeris clams have ridges along the inside edge of the valves that extend past the cardinal area. Internal molds tend to include these teeth, making them very distinctive. As of the time this was posted, this was the only member of the genus listed in the Paleobio Database for the Cretaceous period and it is only listed as being found in NJ. However, Stuart Weller (1907) and Horace G Richards (1958) not only include them in the C and D Canal zone, but identify three different species for the region. This one is the most common and the only one THEY found outside of NJ. This is most likely from the Mount Laurel formation. It was found among the Mount Laurel index fossils. However, Navesink Formation fossils are also found in pockets in this spoils area, so the possibility that this came from the Navesink and got mixed up with the Mount Laurel material from constant human activity cannot be ruled out.

Hi everyone this is matt again today in a big stone I broke apart I found this big clam here is a photo -
I don’t remember exactly where I found these either Florida South Carolina or North Carolina but I was wondering what some of these were if it’s possible to tell and are they fossilized? 1 looks like a turitellid gastropod, 2, 5, and 6 all have the squared off hinge and may be all the same but the colors are different 3 is not symmetric but angled to one side, 7 are cool and spiky, 8 are slightly angled but the hinge part isn’t well preserved 9 I have no clue they may all be different 10 I also have no idea, 11 is some sort of shell, 12 another snail shell and no clue on 13. Any and all help is appreciated, there is a lot I don’t know about there, oh and they are all on an 8 by 11 inch piece of paper. Let me know if you need additional photos of any

Went for a walk down the shoreline in Huntington Beach, California the day after a storm and found this. I have a video of it on my instagram, is there a way to get it here so that it shall pass admin gates? Sorry for the crappy close up of the conical shaped shell at the bottom.

The snow has arrived at the elevations that I like to hike covering up the fossil beds now. These pictures are from one of my last hikes in the Talkeetna Mountains and as you can see these are oversized fossils. The ice axe next to the clam is 30". Kobuk and one to the bigger ammonites measured at 65 cm diameter is another whopper. Ok, now a Where's Waldo picture. How many ammonites do you see in the picture? I have the answer and they as still are all still there in the outcrop, some are broken. The answer is nine ammonites. Until next year happy fossil hunting!
