From the album: My collection in progress
Myophorella clavellata Parkinson, 1811 Location: Villers-sur-Mer, Normandy, France Age: 166-163 Mya (Callovian, Middle Jurassic) Measurements: 2,8x1,7 cm Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Mollusca Subphylum: Conchifera Class: Bivalvia Subclass: Palaeoheterodonta Order: Trigoniida Family: Trigoniidae -
Hello together, a friend of mine found this beautiful Myophorella in Portugal, I do not have any Information about stratigraphy except that the genus is jurassic till cretaceous. I think the ID to genus of the big bivalve is unquestioned (although a species would be nice.) What I wonder about are the little bivlave-like things clinging to the shell. To me they look more like epibionts than random taphonomic guests, they also look like tiny bivalves. Maybe young of the same species ? Did they grow in that way? I Havent found clusters of Myophorella in a picture search. Thanks for your knowledge. Best Regards, J

I took a walk over the fields yesterday in the Wutach area. The farmers are preparing their acres again, so it was time for a stroll. The sun was shining, so I didn't get all that much muck on my boots, but nevertheless, I'm having to vacuum the driver's side of the car today. There wasn't all that much worth keeping this time around, but I did hang onto this one. A Myophorella clavellata bivalve with a length of 8cm. They're not at all common in our area at this particular Bajocian stratigraphic level, so I was glad to have found my third and best preserved one in about 10 years. It's missing a bit from the end, as indicated in the second photo, but that's not so important. The second one is a recent gift from a friend who says he has enough of them, but I just can't say no to a nautilus, although I already have about 50 of them. It's just the very inner whorls of what probably had originally been a pretty large Cenoceras sp. from the Sinemurian, but I think it's pretty cute at 5cm. diameter.
