About 60% of fossil shells fluoresce. This was a quick set-up using a cardboard box and an ultraviolet LDE flashlight. Flashlights like this are long wave, so they don't work with nearly as many species as shortwave, but for some species it doesn't really matter which wavelength one uses. The $15 flash light was much more expendable than my shortwave light!© c. 2017 Heather J M Siple Photography

The pool is loaded with sand and local fossils that visitors could take home - oysters, shark teeth, and belemnites! Oh, my!© c. 2017 Heather J M Siple Photography

B. americana is the Delaware State Fossil. They swam in huge schools and were the base of the food chain in the shallow sea that covered Delaware and New Jersey at the time. This one was found by a surface scan of the loose fossils at the site. They are very common in broken bits and pieces. A whole piece will have a point at the tip and a conically hollow section, the rostrum, at the other end. Whole ones are very rare. This one is nice, however, because it still has its original texture.

I just put together a rather shakey video of the C & D Canal in New Castle County, Delaware in preparation for a trip I'm leading this fall. I didn't find anything Earth-shattering that day, but it gives and idea of the locale and the finds. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMfXz-_B5fA&t=93s

This was found in the spoils from dredging the C&D Canal in the 1980s. Recent removal of spoils sand for road construction in the area exposed previously- inaccessible layers of sand. It is currently one of the most common finds at the site.

This species is not listed in the Delaware Geological Survey's bulletin about the fossils of the Canal. It is distinguished by its small size and non-plicate (no ridges) central area of the shell.

This was found in the spoils from dredging the C&D Canal in the 1980s. Recent removal of spoils sand for road construction in the area exposed previously- inaccessible layers of sand. Originally identified as Ostrea tecticosta. It remains in the same family. Being much less common than its cousin O. falcata, this species is not listed in the Delaware Geological Survey's bulletin about the fossils of the Canal. It is distinguished by its large attachment point.

Formerly known as Ostrea panda. It remains in the same Order. This species is not listed in the Delaware Geological Survey's bulletin about the fossils of the Canal. It is distinguished by its round shape. Pycnodontes are an extinct genus of oysters known as foam or honeycomb oysters.
