I’ve been going through the finds from my recent(ish) outing with fellow TFF member @Jeffrey P and remembered that I promised Jeff to post this little bivalve. To my knowledge it’s the first inflated and relatively complete bivalve that he or I have found at one of our favorite hunting spots. Any previously suspected bivalve has been fragmented or deflated and damaged beyond definitive identification. It is from the Glen Dean Limestone formation of the Leitchfeild Kentucky area which is Carboniferous (Mississippian) in age. It’s tiny, but was one of the top finds of the day. Literature is sparse to non-existent on bivalves for this formation and bivalves are not my forte. Any ideas? Please disregard the little bit of shell jammed under the corner in the next two pictures. It’s only there to hold the bivalve at a better angle. The hinge line needs some cleanup to expose it better, but it’s so small and delicate that I am hesitant to do much.

Found this fossil on a sandbar in the Missouri River, near the border of Northeast Nebraska and Southeast South Dakota. ID'd as bivalve, looking for more specific answer. Thanks!

Hello everyone, I saw these marine looking fossils in what I think are sandstone blocks used to construct the Alcazar in Cordoba, Spain. I saw a lot of bivalve looking fossils in these blocks and one really interesting one, which looks like a sea urchin to me. I am a total newbie, so would really appreciate any help in identifying the age and ID of these fossils.

Never seen anything like this so far. I know it's an Inoceramid from the shell structure but I've never seen one in this shape before. I know there's a lot of variety with this species but I have a lot of experience collecting bivalves and I've never seen one like this.

I drive 8 hours with a friend to a location he remembers from his childhood as yielding a lot. Oh boy it did. 100% worth the drive. Lake Huron, among the agates, pyrite, yooperlite, has some extraordinary Devonian fossils. All fossils were collected from the beach of his family’s property except for the fenestelid bryozoan, which was found at a gas station on the way there. please enjoy this collection of gastropods, petoskey stones, various tabulate corals, crinoids, stromatoporoids, bivalves, Brachiopods, tenteculites, horn corals, an unidentified agatized fossil in jasper matrix, and a pudding stone I felt like showing off too. Thanks! I highly recommend the area.
