Need help with ID of bivalve fossil with possible fossilized pearls
YHWH posted a topic in Fossil ID
I found this fossil in a mountain stream near Lovell, Wyoming. I was wondering what species it could be? It has a shell like some kind of clam. It also has 3 reddish brown stones in it that shimmer in the light. Could these be pearls? The rest of the fossil doesn’t have any reflective gleam in the light. I added blue arrows and circles to show where the possible pearls are at. The whole fossil is about 1 and 10/16 inch long x 1 and 1/4 inch wide x 3/4 inch in height (from the back of the shell to the tip of the highest pearl). Thanks!

Hi everybody. I'm hoping someone on here can identify these. Last Saturday I was digging in the yard here in Alva to plant some citrus trees. At about two feet down in this area it's all coral and i found this conglomeration wedged under a cypress root. the tree is over 4 ft in diameter. i thought these were lizard eggs but after gently brushing the shells out with a soft toothbrush and dawn soap, i think these might be pearls. two of them actually did separate as you can see they're on the desk. we're seventeen miles from the ocean and this property was a cypress swamp prior to our house being built in 1974. Any thoughts on these ? My wife wants me to encase them in resin because they're unusual looking . Thanks.

Hi, I found this giant oyster in the Mexican Golf. It weights around 13kgs. I found this article about something similar, where they did a MRI on the oyster. - https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2154813/amp/The-100-million-year-old-oyster-times-normal-size-undergo-MRI-scan-contains-worlds-biggest-pearl.html and here the same story with more details, but in spanish - https://insolitonoticias.com/ostra-fosil-de-145-millones-de-anos-podria-contener-una-perla-gigante/ Cheers.
