From the album: @Max-fossils 's Zandmotor Finds
A nice cockle found on the Zandmotor. Species: Cerastoderma edule. A very common species, not really worth picking up if you already have some. -
From the Turonian - Senonian (-91 to -83 my) of Touraine, France, i found this pelecypod, that, i believe, might be a Cucullea beaumonti. It is about 3 cm wide and 2,5 hight.

Upper valve only. The genus of this has used several genera. Currently Peilinia is accepted (Kues, 1997) it has also been Ostrea and Lopha in several publications.

Hello everyone, Hereby three shells. I would like to know whether they are fossil or not, because I can't tell... Pics 1 & 2: a gastropod from an unknown location (8cm long). Also, does anyone know the species? Pics 3 & 4: two rough piddocks (Zirfaea pilsbryi) (each about 7 cm). The white one is from an unknown location; the blue/grey one was found on the Zandmotor (Pleistocene fossils and modern material). Thanks in advance for your help, Max

As stated in my previous topic. Here s the last part of my autumn trip to Champagne. After 2 days we were done with our albian spots. So we decided to take the car and drive 2 hours from there, to totally different layer / fossils The area of Epernay if reknown for the quality of its eocene shells, and specially its giant gastropod : campanile giganteum. Those, can only be found by digging which is forbidden in most place. (those measure had to be taken after random badly educated people dug huge pits everywhere without even carrying to fill them back once they were done) For some time we traveled the area looking for either work sites, road cuts or even sand piles. We managed to actually find a sand pile and forest roads freshly covered with fossiliferous sand. So we started to investigate. I wasn't looking for more than 10 minutes that i spotted an unusual shape in the sand. It was a (very) partial campanile giganteum (1 third of the beast maybe a bit more ), but still my best so far. Then after 5 more minutes, the other catch of the day for me : A croc tooth. I had never heard of croc in those layer / area. I knew it was a tooth, but took me quite some feed back tor realize who it belongs too! After some reading (the complete listing of eocene fauna), there are 3 mentions of crocodile in the lutetian. So here it is : (size between 1,5 and 2 cm) My girl friend catch of the day was a very nice conch : lapparia musicalis No picture of this year specimen but here s one i found in 2011 Friend that came with us found a partial Hypocrenes, but still a cool find. To finish for today another cool find for the day : Xenophora schroeteri, a fascinating gastropod which agglomerate random stuff around to protect itself (other shells, gravel or even shark teeth or coral) Edit : "Carrier shells" is the english expression apparently You can see more of that stuff either in TFF here : 2016 lutetian TFF galery or on my flickr : 2016 lutetian flickr galery Next post i ll present you some of the emblematic species !

Fridays Quarry Trip; a few more interesting items
sixgill pete posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Here are a few of the more interesting items from last Fridays trip to a southeastern N.C. Quarry. I have already posted the C. auriculatus tooth and Plesiosaur vert I found in separate posts. First a very small Hardouinia aequoria echinoid. This echinoid is very uncommon and is from the Cretaceous PeeDee Formation. This one is broken on the top and at 17mm is on the small side. It is differentiated from the much more common Hardouinia mortonis by the shape of the pericproct which is elongated instead of circular. Next is a Cretaceous oyster also from the PeeDee Formation. This oyster; Flemingostrea subspatulata is so well preserved it looks like it has just been shucked and eaten. It is a very small (1 3/8") one but an excellent example of the species. Also from the Cretaceous PeeDee Formation a very nice bivalve. Bivalves are normally not well preserved from the PeeDee, so I was thrilled to find this one. I believe it is Anomia sp. but if I am wrong please feel free to correct me. and finally from the Eocene Castle Hayne Formation I just wanted to share these couple of bryzoan encrusted bivalves because of the excellent preservation of the bivalves in them. I believe the bryzoan is Parasmittina collum. The first pics are of it encrusting an oyster, Plicatula filamentosa. The next set is of it encrusting a small pecten. Chlamys cookei.

Hi everyone, It's been a while. Here are two picture of a bivalve I found in Himenoura formation Japan. I have been hunting these place regularly for 2 years but it is the first time I found such large bivale there. I looked into my local documentation to put a name on it but I didn't found anything. Here is some information about the beast: Formation: Himenoura Age: late Cretaceous, santonian size: 13cm long / 9cm width I think it is a kind of veneridae because the hinge teeth (even if difficult to see on the picture and worn) looks like Mercenaria mercenaria teeth. If someone have any idea about the clam shell, I would be gratefull to hear about.
