Can you ID this bivalve? Lower Campanian, marine, southern Poland. As always - sorry for the unpreped specimen (it's delicate) and the poor quality of photos (best I can do for now).

This amazing bivalve fossil was a gift. The giver had no info to offer. I am curious about what its origins might be - where/when; about how old it might have been when it died (it is 6 inches across and has several hundred growth ridges); and I would like to understand how fossilization can result in what appears to be a set of perfectly intact valves, complete with so much detail - in other words, the shells are much heavier than living shells would be, what has replaced the calcium bicarbonate to make the shells so much heavier?

Could it possibly be an astartid? Oxfordian of southern Poland.

I found eight of these huge Cucullaea gigantea fossils yesterday! Anyone fancy a trade? I'm interested in vertebrate material, or really anything that is capable of swimming, flying, or crawling. Matt

Dear The Fossil Forum members, I have those Cnidaria (and a few other unidentified Cnidaria genera) from Camadas de Alcobaça Formation, Kimmeridgian, Portugal. I would be interested in Neogene Bivalvia or Gastropoda. If interested drop me a line please. Kind regards, Ricardo

First trip of the year today to the "Fossil Gardens" at Paulding, Ohio. This is quarry spoil of mid-Devonian age, Silica Formation. There was not a cloud in the sky, and temps were relatively warm at 43 deg. F. I was the only one there for most of the day, and it was extremely peaceful. What a great day. Here are pics of some of the finds. These are "farm fresh" and haven't even been washed yet, but I did take time to polish some horn corals and get some acetate peels (couldn't wait). A large Cystiphylloides rugose coral.

This is a flint from Poland. Age: Malm/Cretaceous/Danian. What do you think? Reminds me of Neotrigonia or Pholadomya or a cardiid.

Please help us identify the fossil in the picture. It was found near Fernie, British Columbia, Canada.

Some of it is eroded so makes it a little tricky. I've come up with the following so am humbly requesting anyone who is able to verify or correct. Thanks. Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Mollusca Class: Bivalvia Order: Veneroida Family: Mesodesmatidae Genus: Paphies

Hi Everyone! Andy from Adelaide, Australia..... oh wait. G'day!
Njords77 posted a topic in Member Introductions
Hello Fossil fans out there where ever you may come from. This is my first post so please let me bore you just a little with a brief introduction before I get to the meat and potatoes. I'm Andy and got through half a Geology major way back in the day, before money ran out and had to enter the work force. My love of rocks hasn't waned though, this I attribute largely to growing up in a very remote and small town of South Australia called Coober Pedy. Known for producing precious opals and not much else. Sometimes I'll share pieces in my collection in various social media platforms etc. One of the pieces is an opalised fossil of a clam, which brings us to the meat and potatoes. I am hoping someone can verify or at least help correct any mistake as I've jumped the gun and uploaded the video to you tube with Taxonomy. https://youtu.be/iw4k9vH7Xhs What I've said.... Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Mollusca Class: Bivalvia Order: Veneroida Family: Mesodesmatidae Genus: Paphies A few pictures to highlight the features, what makes it a bit tricky is that it's not 100% preservation of the original shell shape. Thanks in Advance.

Hello, Can someone help identify this Bivalve? It comes from the Gondwnaspis quarry, near mount Issimour, Morocco. I suppose then it is Devonian. This specimen has 3,4 cm. Thanks in advance, Miguel

ok location: Ayios athanasios hills, limassol, 8km from shore. i know that Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Mollusca Class: Bivalvia Order: Pterioida Family: Pectinidae ?? Genus: ?Species: ? But I am also wondering, if it's ok that I will be cleaning the top with a needle, and if I should remove also that bottom coquina matrix? (will i find a pearl hehehe) And can those arc encrusted epibiots also be removed without cracking the shell?

Get a load of this Bivalve!!! I used to find a few of these back in the day. These come from a very private property that was located in the Falore formation in Northern california. I was lucky enough to be privy for collecting. No more of these will ever be collected. Sad. But what a super cool mussel shell!!! And quite HUGE!!! RB
