Circomphalus foliaceolamellosus is a species of saltwater clam, a marine bivalve mollusc in the family Veneridae, the venus clams.. The genus Circomphalus is known from the Miocene to the Recent periods (age range: from 15.97 to 0.0 million years ago). La formazione, per uno spessore di 100-120 m, è costituita da sabbie giallastre incoerenti o localmente cementate in genere omogenee, talora mostranti strutture da moto ondoso. La successione sabbiosa dell'Astigiano, soprattutto per le ricche associazioni fossili, fu indicata da De Rouville nel 1853 come tipo per l'istituzione del "Piano Astiano". Un tempo utilizzato con significato cronologico (Sacco, 1889-90), l’Astiano nell’accezione sostitutiva "facies astiana" permane nella letteratura relativa al Pliocene sudeuropeo con riferimento a sedimenti sabbiosi deposti in ambienti marini superficiali (piano infralitorale). Le Sabbie di Asti sono note in campo internazionale per l'elevato contenuto paleontologico con fossili talora concentrati in livelli di spessore discreto. Siffatta notorietà ha portato la Regione Piemonte a istituire, nel 1985, la Riserva Naturale Speciale di Valle Andona e Valle Botto finalizzata alla geoconservazione (tutela e fruizione) del patrimonio paleontologico e attualmente gestita dall’Ente Parchi e Riserve Astigiani. Il contenuto paleontologico del tratto inferiore e medio delle Sabbie di Asti è ben documentato nella classica sezione del Castello di Valleandona, citata in letteratura come sezione-tipo per le Sabbie di Asti. Vi si possono riconoscere due livelli fossiliferi. Quello superiore, caratterizzato dalla frequenza del bivalve Isognomon maxillatus, si estende su buona parte del territorio astigiano con caratteristiche simili. Lo strato fossilifero inferiore, dominato dal bivalve Glycymeris insubrica, è sviluppato nelle valli Andona e Monale. Tali paleocomunità a molluschi, in parallelo con altre associazioni fossili, si riferiscono ad altrettanti biotopi che documentano l'evoluzione fisiografica e la progressiva riduzione di profondità del mare pliocenico astigiano, sino all'emersione villafranchiana.

I found this at Staiths in Yorkshire. Is it just a mark on the rock or is it a belemnite?

My grandsons and I went to point A dam in Andalusia AL yesterday to hunt for sharks teeth. From what I have read, the area we were hunting is part of the Eocene timeframe. The majority of finds here are sharks teeth. The fossil was found at waters level under about 5ft of a washed out vertical wall that the river has washed away over the years, and is greenish gray in color (the strata)...we have had crazy rain in the area, over 15" in the past three weeks, thus eroding the bank. The fossil is almost 2" long by around 5/8" diameter in the shape of a tapered triangle, the back part seems to be semi flat. The fossil is very porous, with round ball like protrusions on opposite sides. I'm lead to believe it's some sort of backbone, but not sure. Thanks for any help in I.D.

Hi, I am in Utah on vacation and my friends wife wants to find a plant fossil. I bought a guide book but the location in the book was unproductive. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Andy

Hello fossil wizards, please help. I found this washed up on Myrtle Beach when I was a kid. I think it looks like a tooth? I've always wondered what it is or what it belonged to. It keeps me up at night, haunting me, floating in my mind's eye mouth, 20 years of unidentified oversized toothy torture. Anyway, I would love to finally find out the tooth to this mysterious mystery of the perhaps dental variety & put this & myself to bed.

Hi, Firstly, excuse me for my ignorance. Myself and a few friends went walking in the Isle of Wight last weekend and came across some interesting Fossils. The problem is that we had a 50/50 split, with one side arguing that they are indeed fossils and the others saying they looked like an exotic patio slab. Is there any chance you could clear this up for me. Thanks in advance

I found this by the beach and was wondering if it could possibly be a shark tooth?

Is this small aquatic reptile fossil real?
FosselDumbDumb posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
I found this fossil for sale and it seems almost too good to be true. Any help determining if this is real or a lemon would be great. The extra information I have on it is: Triassic Period, Carnian.Xingyi, Guizhou, China. Keichousaurus hui Young.

I was back out in the field today to look for fossils. I finally went over to this stranger rock that for some reason I had put off looking at for almost a year! It turned out to be a nice chunk of fossils hash. I could see sea shells and their imprints along with coral and possibly bones (don't know if they are or not). This is only a small piece of the overall rock and I hope to get back to get the rest when the weather clears up. all the best! Boris

Ok All might be over thinking not saying this is but again has bone like appearance going a few steps ahead looks to be a tooth like projection in this that looks like it would match holes in it ,with out beating around the bush what's the odds on possible petrified bone with a broken tooth imbedded in it? In the area 1000000000 to one? But always say better to be lucky then good. It is in a Canadian University being Identified along with some others they found interesting will post what they have found. What do ya think? A B C
