Found in Calvert county Maryland. Attempting to figure out the Latin name but I keep getting different names online.

Hi...For some reason this scallop doesn't look like the typical Calvert Cliffs Chesapecten nefrons. Its small, black stained, and appears in MY eye to be taller than normal. I don't have a good nefrons to compare the length to width ratios but it just SEEMS different. (26.6mm widest x 29.16 tall not at a diagonal). It was found within the same grit as the efrons pieces, the shark vertibrae, the oyster shell etc. that we found. From the southern end of the exposure at the State Park tiny beach. Are C.efrons the only eocene scallops found there? Is it a morphological difference due to its assum

Right up there with the Conasauga Shale further north, the Late Eocene Tivola Limestone is a formation that has become one of my absolute favorites to hunt over the course of my visits to the formation. 2 months ago I went there and got a good series of photos and as always good finds, but I neglected to actually post a proper field trip report. It was the first time in a good while that I had gone fossil hunting, something that I had been absolutely craving for a while in the midst of a sea of university exams that lied ahead in the coming month. When we arrived at the

I found this scallop shell while walking on one of the hiking trails at El Moro Canyon in Orange County in Crystal Cove State Park, but I wanted to ask what species of scallop this specimen represents, because the marine Vaqueros, Topanga, Monterey, and Capistrano Formations are exposed in Crystal Cove State Park.

I found this scallop at an exposure of the Middle to Late Pleistocene Canepatch Formation in North Carolina. I have tried in vain to find information on pectens of the Canepatch Formation. I found a single reference placing Carolinapecten eboreus in the Canepatch Formation but I am not totally sure if that matches. I tried to compare the ears of this scallop to images of Carolinapecten eboreus and I was not confident that they matched. Sadly this specimen is heavily water worn in the waves and has lost some of its distinguishing features. I would love to know if anyone is familiar with the pec

Took my first trip out to Calvert cliffs state park this weekend. Got there as early as I could, which started me at high tide. Beach loaded up with people throughout the day. And from what I saw, nobody else found any teeth. So I consider myself lucky with the hastalis I found. The roots were just barely showing, I think a wave may have just uncovered them. It was a long day round trip from NY but worth it. Also found some scallops.

Isognomon donated to Delaware Museum of Natural History
I_gotta_rock posted a topic in Partners in Paleontology - Member Contributions to Science
In 2008, I found one of the prizes of my collection amongst a pile of sand and broken bits at Calvert Cliffs. I knew from seeing museum specimens of Isognomon maxillata that even with the tip broken off, this was a great find. After admiring it on my shelf every day since, I decided to share it. Today it has a new home at the Delaware Museum of Natural History, which did not have any of this species or much of anything from that region amongst its 2,000,000+ mollusk specimens. Along with the Isognomon, I donated a Chesapectin nefrens shell with a number of pearl buds on the inside and a Tongu- 3 replies

The treasure of the Reedy Point Spoils is in the micros! This is one of over 100 micros I collected in one day just surface collecting after the spoils area was freshly cleared of vegetation -- and freshly cleared of much of the remaining matrix. Of all of those micro fossils, this is the only one of this species and very possibly the only one I have found in 16 years of collecting at that site. The Reedy Point Spoils is a 220+ acre dredge deposit from the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal. The matrix is a combination of material from the Mt Laurel and Navesink Formations, which are no

I found this in Venice florida. I was wondering if anyone knew the species. I believe it's a scallop. Thank you.

Good morning! I was hiking along a park path when I inspected a large boulder and found these two fossils, the first of which is similar to modern day scallop. I didn't have anything to measure with -my apologies, but it was approximately 1 1/4" in height and 1" across. the other object has some faint lines/rays emanating from ~9:00 to 2:00, but not sure it is overlying the underside of another shell, or is part of the fossil. This one is approximately 1 1/2" x 3/4 " Any thoughts and suggestions on i.d.s welcome and encouraged!..... not sure I could remove the scallop intact but thou

I’ve been around the scalloping industry for over 40 years and this is the only one I’ve seen . it has a flat side , a round side and the hinge area So it is either sand that turned into a rock like a mold or it a petrified scallop ?????

All of these were found beach combing in Charleston, SC and all were caked with what I believe is limestone. A. Not sure on this one. Thought clam before pulling away some limestone but now thinking oyster? About 5cm wide. B. Scallops, wondering type and age if identifiable About 3 cm tall. C. Was thinking scallop on this one but it doesn’t seem to have the same vertical lines, they’re all horizontal. Roughly 9cm tall. Thank you all in advance! I’ll be posting some corals and

Went to Virginia a few months ago and came home with a few Chesapectin nefrens encased in solid rock. This one was only exposed as a ring of shell material in a ball of clay, calcite, iron ,broken shell and who knows what else. Normally I prep things with soft brushes, dental picks, a water pick, and very gentle fingers. That wasn't cutting it this time and I had to get aggressive. I spent 3+ hours with a rotary tool and zero practice. It's no museum piece, but it's not horrible. I could simply collect the same species, from the same member of the same formation, at a much closer

Chesapectin nefrens Westmoland County, VA Choptank Formation Middle Miocene C. nefrens is fairly common in the Choptank Formation, but the level of sculptural detail preserved in this particular specimen just blew me away when I gently brushed off the loose sediment. -

Hello, I am very new to this. I am a bio teacher with no experience in paleontology but I have to teach it! I recently found an intact top and bottom scallop shell off the James River, in Surry county, Virginia. I know it belongs to the Chesapecten genus, but not sure what species it is. Some friends have tried to help but I don’t understand what they are talking about. Possibly found in either the Yorktown formation or Eastover formation. Please help!
