Looking for bivalves, especially Venericardia
Max-fossils posted a topic in Member-to-Member Fossil Trades
Hi all, As always, I am looking for more bivalve fossils to complete my collection. I saw somewhere that the species Venericardia planicosta (previously also known as Cardita planicosta and Megacardita planicosta), which appears in Eocene European sediments, also appears in American sediments. I often go to Zeeland (south-west Netherlands), and on the beaches of the region, this species can be found. I already found two times an umbo, one of them huge, but to this date I still haven't found a complete one (but I will keep trying!!!). Now, I don't want a Dutch specimen of this species, because I would like to find that myself, but if someone has this species from another country (and is willing to trade it) that would be awesome. Then again, I am also looking for any other cool bivalve species that you may have available for trade! The only ones I don't want are: Dutch bivalves Belgian bivalves French bivalves Bivalves from Estero Bluffs, CA Several Florida species (too many to mention; so if you have some uncommon ones that you think I might not have yet, send them through and I will say if I want them or not) Chesapecten nefrens from Calvert Cliffs There are a few other ones, but that list should cover most of the things I don't want. The reason I made the list is simply because I don't want to have duplicates in my collection. And I often get the opportunity to collect fossils in the Netherlands/Belgium/France, so I prefer to go look for them myself. Luckily, because the bivalve fauna is so fantastically wide, the chance is small that I have what you have to offer! In return, I have a wide range of different fossils, many European, and several from closed locations too. Not many display pieces though, more small cool things. Oh, please remember! Postage is to the Netherlands! So unless you are also in the Netherlands, take into account that the international postage is likely to be expensive. I am willing to ship internationally, but make sure that you are also willing to do so before going into the trade. Now, send me a PM with some pictures of some lovely bivalves for me to drool on!
