Colorful Cretaceous shells and multiple Inoceramus species (I think) please help with Id's
Lone Hunter posted a topic in Fossil ID
Had a blast last week busting up marl in the creek with Rockwood's help . I was amazed to find a chunky plate filled with beautiful shells in addition to gobs of gastropods in the area and Gryphea. Got thrown off trying to ID by color duh, finally shape of striped ones clicked, flat sides, Inoceramus sp.? The tiny brown one Inoceramus cuvieri? And the little round ones pinnaeformis? The tip is broke off one but they are all the same. Limestone Inoceramus maybe labiatus or sp.? So not sure about Gryphea, 2 are in piece with the big shells and one of them is round, the other right underneath it, last is the big black/silver with both valves. It's hard for me to distinguish some things without finding a good match for comparison. Really enjoyed prepping these and wondering how uncommon it is to find this good preservation? Appreciate any input! Hope pics come out in order.- 28 replies
