Sjelliott93 Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 I was curious if anyone knows what this is. It looks very close to a mussel. You can see the end piece for the Marine Animal. I have taken this to a Marine Specialist he could not give a exact ID but he said there is sand and shell in it for sure and its shape is that of a Mussel. Please verify. It's 2 inches wide and about 3 inches long. Found on the Beach! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pterygotus Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 I’m no expert but possibly gryphaea or ‘devil’s toenail’? Someone will probably correct me though . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a possibility. Gryphea sp. ... perhaps. I think it is a steinkern, or an internal cast. As such, it is lacking in any identifying details. Bivalve may be as close as you can get, unless you can find records of the type of bivalve fossils found in the area. 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."
