On a recent trip in Perú, near the coastal town San Juan de Marcona, I saw several middle to late Pleistocene marine terraces. In this one, fossil fragile clams and stout scallops are well-preserved, separately packed in thin strata. I think they are Anomia peruviana and Argopecten purpuratus. clamsscallops Also found one unidentified gastropod Photo shows clam stratum just below scallop stratum.

The Meargle Went Down to South Georgia: 2nd Tivola Edition
MeargleSchmeargl posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Boy have I been away for a good bit. Quite a lot has happened since! Hope everyone's doing all right all things considered! Seeing the calamity the world is in the throes of, I decided to head out Saturday before the zombie apocalypse truly took hold here in GA. With social distancing and whatnot in effect, the options are quite limited as far as recreational activities. Thankfully, everyone's favorite activity, finding the rock-encrusted remains of life long gone is something that can be done away from prying eyes, particularly the Tivola Limestone site in Perry GA that I visited- 3 replies

Hello again, my fossiling friends! It has been quite some time, between graduation, moving, and preparing for a vacation to Sicily to watch active volcanoes do their thing, schedule's been pretty loaded. Since the last time we talked, I was able to fit a visit to Dalton/Chatsworth before school ended, but I never got around to posting it. Ever since I was able to talk to Thomas Thurmon at my last PAG meeting, we were looking to hit the Tivola Limestone in Perry GA as he has had experience with it before. After a rain-induced postponement the week prior, we were able to

@clay@caldiggerHad a very interesting 3 weeks in Nov/Dec beach hunting at North Myrtle Beach, SC. Every year their are different finds along with the old dependable stand-bys. Many I am familiar, some I believe I know what they are but would like confirmation from TFF members and others I have no clue. I try and be there during a high tide as I believe that it stirs up more material. This year, a KING tide occurred-a new term for me-but it occurs a few times a year when the moon is the closest to the earth. Unfortunately many homes were re-flooded after recovering from the hurricane due to thi

Over the course of this year learning about the Tivola Limestone, the more I've inexplicably wanted an in-situ Eocene scallop. I've seen before that scallops with both valves attached at the hinge have been found, but how rare is such a phenomenon? Something like this:

Last week I went to a doctor appointment in Naples, and on my way home I happened to pass a newly excavated pile which contained oysters large enough to be seen from the road I was driving on. The site had just started, ( in fact two days later the pile was gone) so I parked nearby and walked along the outside edge. I am glad I did. I found 5 kinds of pectens or chlamys. The two I have laid out are Nodipecten Collierensis, and Euvola Hemicyclia....three complete bi valves of each. Now I just have to figure out how to lay them out in a ryker box. Fossil hunters, take advantage of those new pil

Hi everyone, I am hoping to be able to grab someone's attention with a couple of questions. I am a fairly new fossil hunter, (2 years now) and try to identify the fossils I find by comparing them to other images through the forum, or from some of the internet images, such as from the Florida Museum of Paleontology. Sometimes I am successful, often I find two or three differently named fossils that look alike, so my next step to to see where they come from and if my were from the same geologic layer or time. From my latest trip I found wonderful scallops and find myself with a few questions wh

Hello again! Surprsingly, there's a part 2 to our fossil hunting! This is just as much a surprises for us than for you. Yesterday we went to visit some beaches recommended by the reception. The first one we went to was Benagil. This beach is famous for its huge cliffs, and especially for a special cave only accessible by boat. Unfortunately there was no boat to take us, so we just rested on the beach. That's when I noticed that the cliffs were exactly like those that we saw at Oura (see previous post on the Formação dos Olhos de Ãgua), so I started to look for fossils.

I bought this shell fossil from a rock shop at the CNE because today they had free entrance for youths. It doesnt come lablled from what formation it originated from, but it said the locality was Chesapeake Bay and from the label Im assuming this is Pleistocene? I find this an interesting fossil to sit beside my Ordovician clams.

I picked up these scallop imprints in Hood Co., TX in the Comanche Peak formation, and i need help with identification. The first intrigued me because of the perpendicular lines in the imprint. The second because of the different size dots in the lines of the imprint. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help.

I'm fairly new to fossil hunting and I live in Humboldt County, Northern CA. I took a trip out to the Scotia Bluffs for the first time yesterday and found some marine fossils. First I came across countless cockle shells which eroded off the sandstone cliiffs right next to the trail. The trail is on abandoned railroad tracks and it takes you to a bridge which was missing some boards and scary to cross. My dog was not happy but did cross with me. After that, I found a moon snail and some clams including a razor clam. After getting bit by and removing a bunch of ticks I recrossed the bridge

I found a Mastodon tooth last season and I have been wanting to make a video clip of it. I finially made the clip so I thought I would post it. There are literally hundreds of thousands of fossils underneath the overburden here in Charleston SC. Too bad there is not an easy way to get to them. I guess if there was an easy way it would take the fun out of it. Included in the video are: Various SC fossils including a Mastodon tooth, Scallops, Murex shell, Megalodon, and Angustiden teeth. All these items (except the Aurora scallop) I found offshore SC or in the rivers surrounding Charleston.
