    Pecten?

    Howdy all, This is a fossil scallop valve I found in the Coon Creek Formation of Mcnairy County, Tennessee a few years ago. I've heard of two scallop genus coming from that area, this being neithea and pecten. Which one would this be?

    Petrified mollusc?

    Hello! It was found in central Europe on a country road covered with little limestone and dolomite pebbles. Looks like a fossilized mollusc. Is it a scallop? How old can it be? Thank you for any suggestions.

    Back of a scallop impression

    Hello friends, I am very new so hopefully i’m doing this right. A few days ago I was walking on a sandy beach, (CA) and found this scallop impression? It’s really blue which I thought was interesting. I actually think there’s another impression on the back, but maybe it’s just from where the rock was sitting? I’m not sure if it could be any living thing at all. Thanks to anyone who stops by to read this, I appreciate it a lot
  7. Hi All, Had some time off from work this past Friday, and decided to take a drive out to Big Brook to do some hunting. Had a pretty successful outing, finding some of the biggest shark teeth (Goblin) I've found in my handful of visits to the Brook. Would have been very happy to leave with just those few pieces. The best find of the day was a piece of a Mastodon tooth. I'm still learning, and at first didn't realize what I had, thinking it may be part of a turtle scute (still new to all of this). Thanks to a couple members of the "Fossils and Native American Artifacts (NJ and surrounding areas)" Facebook group, they were able to pin an ID. Compared it to some photos of other examples and it definitley looks like Mastodon. Totally blown away by this find!! Had a few other nice pieces photgraphed below. Last piece of the day was what appears to be a rib bone. Could very well be modern White Tail Deer, as the brook is rich an iron, and can stain the bone pretty quickly. I found the Goblin Shark teeth in the same deposit, but also found a partial of a more modern deer jaw. Jaw was partially white and brown (didn't save as I could tell it was modern). In any case, not sure if it's anything but a modern deer rib. Feedback good or bad is appreciated. Thanks! Calm day @ the Brook. Couple sifts in, and pulled this tooth. Good start!

    Scallops. Pecten or Chesapecten ?

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

    Neithea texana

    From the album: Grayson/Del Rio Formation

    Neithea texana, Denton Co. Cenomanian, Cretaceous Jan, 2023
  10. 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 assumed (by me) immaturity and small size? Am I seeing things? Appreciate the help and opinions........Glenn 680186982_Scallop(1).zip

    Shell fossils new Zealand

    Hi there all, I'm new to this. Please help... View the photos attached and any info would be amazing. Thanks kindly. My name is che-ruby wood.
  12. 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 always reliable abandoned cement quarry I had one particular idea in my mind for my gameplan; I wanted to see the other side of it. Most of the visits I've paid to this site I'd only really stayed to one side of it while collecting, so I didn't give myself much of a chance to see what the whole of the pit had to offer. I also had the idea to take some photos of the walls of the quarry itself, as you can see the fossilized fauna embedded in the walls just about everywhere you looked, be it the Periarchus pileussinensis sand dollars or the Chalmys spillmani scallops that are so plentiful in these rocks: As is always the case with this formation, I had many nice Periarchus and Chlamys to show for my efforts by the end of my visit, one of which happened to be the first double piece of Periarchus I've found here so far:

    Pecten venustus

    From the album: C&D Canal Micro Fossils

  14. 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.

    Pleistocene Canepatch Formation Scallop

    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 pectens of the Canepatch. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!

    Calvert Cliffs trip 1

    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.

    Neithea quinquecostata

    From the album: C&D Canal Micro Fossils

  19. 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 Tongue shell (Glossus santamaria) from the same location. The curator was happy to tell me that after 40 years of displaying modern sea shells and fossils of dinosaurs, they are finally putting together an exhibit of fossilized sea shells. Who knows, maybe one or more of these will end up on public view?

    Micro Scallop

    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 not exposed in Delaware, but are on the surface in their namesake towns in NJ.
  22. I found this in Venice florida. I was wondering if anyone knew the species. I believe it's a scallop. Thank you.

    Scallop i.d.? Unidentified fossil

    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 thoughts on how to do that as well? Bone

    Petrified scallop

    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 ?????
