From the album: Eocene Bivalves of New Jersey
Derived from the Eocene Manasquan Formation from Monmouth County, New Jersey. The far right specimen is the largest in my collection and does have a slightly different form as well as a different preservation. This is one of the more common species from this unit and locality.-

ID help needed. I found this well-preserved, ornate, large oyster in Maryland's Paleocene Aquia Formation. Is this the common Ostrea compressirostra? The lower valve's outer surface is quite ornamented, with radial folding along the protruding thin edges of the concentric growth rings (see pics). The valve margins are slightly discordant. The adductor muscle scar impressions, on both valves, contains what appears to be a thin layer of non-calcareous fossilized tissue. Specimen dimensions: Weight: 36 ounces Lower valve: height 6.75 inches, length 6.75 inches, convexity 1.5 inches Upper valve: height 5.75 inches, length 5.5 inches, flat Thanks for your help.
