It’s easier to identify with the age of the sediment !

How about 'Anthropocene'? :P 

This is a modern Crassostrea gigas. An oyster species that was recently imported from Japan, and is currently an invasive species in the North Sea, much at the dismay of our local oyster Ostrea edulis, who's population has been severely declining in favor of the Asian species these past few years. Crassostrea gigas can become quite big and can have incredibly weird and funky shapes (yours is relatively more on the normal side), so they can be quite easy to recognize.

Identifying oysters is its own form of chonchologic sorcery:notworthy:

Hahaha, they are indeed renowned to be a difficult group! Honestly the only two I can very easily recognize are Ostrea edulis and Crassostrea gigas

The other ones are more difficult...
