Was out catching minnows today and checked out a section of creek wall that collapsed and found this in sandy dirt, it was buried about 6 ft into side and 20 ft from top of creek bank, it had been buried a long time. I haven't found much on razor clams if that's what it is, I think Grayson up in Denton Co is closest location they are found. That said, this part of creek is mix of Cretaceous Eagle Ford, QT and QAL.

Hi guys Fairly new to this. Went to an abandoned sand stone quarry near me. Found loads of brachiopods and some criniod stems. But best of all this big clam. It might be hard to tell but theres a big brachiopod under that rock. Please can you share some tips for getting it out safely. Done as much as i feel comfy doing with my fossil hammer and chisel.

I think this could be a bivalve of some kind. Oyster? It's composed of sandstone. It's about 7 inches long, 5 inches wide and 2 inches high on one side,1 inch on the other. Are those fossilized barnacles growing on top? Some giant oysters have been found in Texas and other southern states but I found this in a pile of field stone in my backyard, I live in Dodge county, Wi. I have searched for any other similar finds on WI fossil sites but couldn't find any. However, there are several quarries in the area which contain Cambrian period marine fossils, lots of the "regular suspects" but no giant bivalves. There is an area 60 miles north of here where they recently found trace fossils of giant jelly fish and I found a tiny one in limestone in Dodge county. They also recently discovered a giant Cambrian reef in Wauwatosa, Wi which is about 50 miles southeast of here in Milwaukee county. Would love to hear other opinions or ideas as to identification. See pics below Thanks!
