Hi everybody, i'd like to lighted by your opinions on those Bartonian fossils from Blaye on the estuary of the Gironde. Firstly, those urchins. Blaye is a place where exist endemic urchins. I made a little research on myself and found some names. Echinolampas burdigalensis ? (maybe sismondia for the upper one ?) 1) 2) 3) Echinolampas stellifera ? Those gastropods : Olividea ? Olivancillaria ? Terebellum ? Bivalves : 1) 2) 3)

Hello Gang. I'm not sure if fossiling takes your focus off what you should be doing like it does me but yesterday I was supposed to be clearing an area out to make space for an upcoming wood working project. Well that exercise turned more into opening boxes and looking at fossils stored there and reliving why I had brought some of them home. It was a good thing and a bad thing! As many of you know the Tamiami formation has a boat load of invertebrate species and its fairly easy to acquire a bunch of material quickly so here are several shots to share with you all of some of the va

I am putting together some educational displays and I am need of an example of a Cambrian age Pelecypod and Gastropod. Thank You -
Hi, I believe this is a pelecypod. It was found in an early Pennsylvanian formation sandstone hash plate. Specimen is 3" overall. Would anyone have some thoughts to which superfamily, genus, etc., so I can dig a little deeper on my own? Thank you, Kato

I am trying to make it a habit to ID and label my finds much better than I used to. So I ask for help on these "lowly clams". I have tried to identify these 2 different pelecypods found on a trip back from Ohio at Thanksgiving. But my research is not proving fruitful. One specimen is very thin, the other broad based. They were found in a roadcut on Hwy 20 in NW Illinois in a very narrow (12 inch) band of rock, almost like hardened mud. This band was full of pelecypods but nothing else.. It likely was from the Galena formation of the Ordovician. I have found Ambonychia (Cincinnatian)as a simil

Found this pretty little fossil in some Mahantango Formation rocks, and it was by itself and Three D, unusual for the site. Any ideas on the species? Givetian, mid-Devonian, Washington county, MD, Mahantango Formation. Any ideas? A post on the trip I found this from to come...

Get a load of this Bivalve!!! I used to find a few of these back in the day. These come from a very private property that was located in the Falore formation in Northern california. I was lucky enough to be privy for collecting. No more of these will ever be collected. Sad. But what a super cool mussel shell!!! And quite HUGE!!! RB

Okay, here's a stumped for the detail-oriented. The first picture is Ostrea falcata, one of the more common finds in the Mount Laurel Formation. It is curved like a hook, with ruffles radiating out from the hinge. The second one is O. panda. (same size, left out the penny.) It's more or less circular, with ruffles only at the edgesThe other two are from the same spot at the same site, on the same day, but are clearly not the same species. The third one is rather fan-shaped. the fourth has a depression dividing the raised center from the the ruffled edge. I can't find them in my DE or NJ field

I have dozens of these things. They are all over the spoils pile. Maybe I've been staring at my books too long, but for the life of me I can't find a name. This should be an easy one. Cretaceous pelecypod form the C and D Canal, Mt Laurel formation, Delaware

Collected this in Plano, Texas when I was a kid back in the early 1980s. Construction equipment had dug up some limestone and piled it next to the road. There were a lot of broken Inoceramus shells, this was the only intact fossil that I found. Looks different than Inoceramus. Does anyone know what species this would be. I have never found another like it. Measures 2 3/8 inches across.

Got out yesterday to some exposures of shale in Southwestern Ohio. Found a couple nice trilobites; Isotelus and Flexicalymene. A couple nice Isotelus pygidium. I got heavy into some pelecypods and a couple nice brachiopods were laying in the stream, one with a nice bryozoan on top.

I was wondering if someone familiar with Eagle Ford fossils from the Las Colinas, Texas area could identify this. I think it looks like Inoceramus, but am not sure. For size reference, the graph paper that it is sitting on is 1/4" grid.

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. -
