From the album: Woodbine Formation
Unknown Bivalve, Tarrant Co. Cenomanian, Cretaceous Jan, 2023 -
I’ve decided to post this one separately. Very unusual composition. If you watch the video, you’ll see that light refracts off of tiny crystals in the center of each segment (which I’ve circled in red in another image). It’s hardly noticeable. The specimen is very smooth and rounded. Another member said in a different post of mine that it could possibly be an inoceramid hinge, though my own research resulted in nothing. I can’t find anything online that remotely resembles my specimen (inoceramid or otherwise). I found it at Post Oak Creek in Sherman, Texas. FullSizeRender.MOV

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.

Hey everyone, Today @Bone Daddy and myself did a little invert fossil hunting. Well, I found this Mercenaria Clam and I’ve never seen one like it. There are millions of these things littered around the site, but none have this layered growth at the opening. Can someone tell me if this a mutation or is it common? I’m not really an invert specialist, but something just seems odd about it. All the ones that I’ve collected or even seen have only one layer of growth that connects at the front. This one has so many, and its fairly heavy, probably weighs 10 pounds. Anyone know clams? thanks -J

Hi everyone this is Matt again. Take a look at these bivalves I found in the creek today. Here is a photo:

I lost my kayak anchor and found a rock to use for the rest of the day. When I was loading back up I noticed the markings on it. I thought it was a piece of petrified wood but once I cleaned it up it kind of looks like a clam. Any ideas? This was found in middle Tennessee.

Another find from yesterday, it also was found in creek in Muskingum County, Ohio.

Found in creek in muskingum county, Ohio. There are a few more in this particular rock. So if you see some and can help with identifying please feel free to do so. Thanks.

Thanks for any help putting species IDs on these marine fossils from Magoito Beach, Portugal. My best guesses are as follows: 1-12) Oysters, unsure of species 13-20) Clams, original material and steinkerns. 13, 16 and 19 are quite "tall", others rather flat. 21, 22) ?? Possibly a coral? Or crinoid fragments or a trace fossil? 23, 24) smaller oyster pieces 25) a mussel? 26-29) gastropods 30) shark tooth - possibly goblin shark? Sadly fragmented, but has distinctive pair of lobes at the root midline 31) ?? intriguing paddle-shaped structure with a distinctive mid-line 32-38) bonus calcite and gypsum crystals

My wife and I traveled up to western upstate NY this past weekend for Penn Dixie's annual dig with the experts event. This was our first visit to the park and we were happy to finally use up the tickets we had originally purchased for the 2020 dig. The event was sold out both days and the staff seemed happy to be back in normal operations. The weather was perfect, with bright sunny skies and temps in the 50s to 60s day 1 and 60s to low 70s day 2. Lots of folks digging: We didn't find anything crazy good, but didn't get blanked with a mix of brachiopods, cephalopods, clams, crinoid stem pieces, corals, trilobites and a partial phyllocarid. Mostly brachiopods with some horn corals: and mostly horn corals with a couple brachiopods: Hash plate of mostly brachiopods, needs cleanup so was hard to photograph: Another clump with multiple brachiopods: I was told clams didn't preserve as well at this location and I certainly didn't find many samples worth collecting: Nice 3d partial cephalopod, not sure how much is in the matrix, but both sides have similar levels of detail and this was by far the largest one we found: Good sampling of crinoid stem pieces plus a few others. My wife really liked the ones with a star shape in the middle. This is probably half of what we collected, though my wife did get some longer segments: Trilobite hash, not sure if any are complete: Double rollers: Not sure how much of this one is here and it does have a fine crack throughit, but should be easy to glue: Not sure if there is more on this one: Guillotine plate, nothing but heads... This one hurt, disarticulated but likely complete up top, then what would have been a perfect prone below if the excavator hadn't decapitated it as they created the dig piles: Full but squished and a little ragged on left, looks like complete roller on right: Closer shot of the one from above, he makes a 90 degree turn but looks to be complete: Another roller: Possibly mostly complete: Roller on upper piece, small horn coral on lower: Nice roller: Disarticulated molt: Could be complete: This last split is a little tough to see, I bumped the contrast a bit. Multiple dig experts identified it as a phyllocarid (and none dissented) which made me happy as that was the only thing I could come up with and staff said are a rare find there. Its my 1st, the only one I had seen before was one of @Al Tahan finds from central NY.
