Hello, can someone help me ID this? Me and my work friends have had a heated debate over this. I think this is a petrified shell and they say I am wrong and that it is obviously just a shell. Please can someone confirm whether this is a fossil?

From the album: @Max-fossils 's Zandmotor Finds
A clam found on the Zandmotor. Species: Mactra plistoneerlandica (but it could be Spisula solida, I'm not sure). The whole beach is filled with those, and even complete ones are extremely common. -
Found by a friend 20 miles north of Malta in Montana. I am thinking Bear Paw Shale formation in the Montana Group....reminds me of a joke i will post a little later....

Hi all. New member here that grew up collecting small fossils on our farm in southern IN (lots of limestone there). Now live in west central IN and have the opportunity to collect from a friend's creek where there are geodes to find, other cool rocks and a few fossils. Not a geologist by any sort but have always loved rock hounding. Here are a couple of 'rocks' that I found the other day in the creek and would like to ask opinions on what they are. I'm assuming just some non-descrip rocks but was wondering if they could possibly be something else. Sorry, I forgot to include a ruler for scale. They are sitting on a regular 8.5" x 11" piece of paper in natural sunlight. The one on the left has a 'clam-like' shape to part of it with some small crystal formations (possibly calcite?) that you really can't see in the photos. So might be some sort of geode or fossil that turned into a geode? Size is approximately 2.75" x 2.25" x 2.5". The one on the right is somewhat 'eggy' in appearance, approximately 2" x 1.5" x 1.75". Probably a type of rock formation (?) but one never knows, so I'm asking. I can get the regular camera out and take closer/higher res photos if necessary. TIA. Theresa

Quick question... Does anyone have any information on the Pectinid clam genus Clavicosta? I have been trying to identify a couple of spiny shells I found at the Wilson Clay Pit in central Texas. I have a lead, but I cannot find much information on the genus other than Newell describing it in 1938 in Late Paleozoic pelecypods: Pectinacea. University of Kansas Publications, State Geological Survey of Kansas 10(1):1-123. I looked up the book, but I don't have $100 to buy it on Amazon! Thanks in advance to anyone who might be able to help. Daniel

Bivalves don't get much attention, but these Campanian fossils are on the science Olympiad fossil list this year, so if anyone has some good examples they want to get rid of, PM me.

From the album: Angelica's
My boyfriend found this in a river/creek bed in Lassen National Forest in northern California. Other than that, I know very little about it. I've posted in the ID section asking for more information (http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/topic/61172-fossilized-seashell-lassen-national-forest/#entry652184)--any information is welcome! -

I have some fossils that were unearthed when my aunt was digging ponds on our property. I teach 8th grade science and would like to use them in my fossil unit. Can anyone identify these and give me a rough age? I will post additional fossil pictures in the reply area.
