archeria Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 I was wondering that the madagascan jurassic clams and cretaceous cockscomb oysters from my collection did not have a comprehensive label,I wanted to ask you what they were.. Here are a few photos online: https://www.google.com/search?q=madagascar+fossil+clam&sxsrf=ACYBGNSyt5RjY1qraJUr3kcrF1FSPuVtBg:1581930994833&tbm=isch&source=iu&ictx=1&fir=q1GrCKB9r4EOpM%3A%2CRVLU8rvAwW_qDM%2C_&vet=1&usg=AI4_-kRLA3HGjyWBFynUylzJaveHH4B7QA&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwish4aYoNjnAhXIUN4KHZ2nCtkQ9QEwAHoECAoQHg#imgrc=oy8HBIbkpemGJM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archeria Posted February 17, 2020 Author Share Posted February 17, 2020 I am not sure if the oysters are RASTELLUM CARINATUM.... they look a lot like other fossil cockscomb oysters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archeria Posted February 17, 2020 Author Share Posted February 17, 2020 I am not too familiar to this variety too : https://www.google.com/search?q=madagascar+fossil+clam&sxsrf=ACYBGNSyt5RjY1qraJUr3kcrF1FSPuVtBg:1581930994833&tbm=isch&source=iu&ictx=1&fir=q1GrCKB9r4EOpM%3A%2CRVLU8rvAwW_qDM%2C_&vet=1&usg=AI4_-kRLA3HGjyWBFynUylzJaveHH4B7QA&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwish4aYoNjnAhXIUN4KHZ2nCtkQ9QEwAHoECAoQHg#imgrc=RJ1gyMjfCifnrM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossildude19 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Pictures of your fossils would be necessary, to help with Identification. 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

archeria Posted February 18, 2020 Author Share Posted February 18, 2020 sorry,I do not know how to move photos from my camera to my computer...

It wasn't really a link, but a tag to notify me of the topic so that I can take a look at your topic. Rastellum carinatum and the shells in your two links are 3 completely different species... Which makes it quite hard to have an idea what you're talking about. Therefore pictures of your specimens are required in order to provide correct information for your shells. I can't help unless I can see what shells you have. If you don't know how to transfer photos from your camera to the computer, I suggest looking at the instructions manual that came with the camera, I'm sure it's explained there somewhere. Otherwise you can also google it. Another way you can post your pictures is by taking them with your smartphone (if it has a camera), then sending those to your computer (via email for example) or directly posting those pictures onto this topic (you can access The Fossil Forum from your phone too). I look forward to seeing your specimens 5 Max Derème "I feel an echo of the lightning each time I find a fossil.

I would suggest not posting until you have your photos on your computer, as we can't help ID when we don't know what you have. There should be nothing preventing you from pasting or uploading photos.
