Fishinfossil Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 While on my way fishing today, I stumbled upon a creek that looked shelly, pulled over and lo and behold found these two little sweet treats! They are fully intact with both sides connected. I believe they are Choristothyris plicata @The Jersey Devil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jersey Devil Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Nice! “You must take your opponent into a deep dark forest where 2+2=5, and the path leading out is only wide enough for one.” ― Mikhail Tal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey P Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Yep. That's what you have. Looks like you found the Navesink Formation in which those little guys are common. You probably saw a number of Exogyra (oyster shells) and belemnite guards too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishinfossil Posted March 26, 2020 Author Share Posted March 26, 2020 @Jeffrey P Yes for sure. The real thrill was discovering a new brook to explore. I only spent 15 minutes there. Was a nice surprise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any freshwater in the creeks, or just salt? I don't get much exposure to salt in the Chicago area, but I've done salt twice from shore. Once in Long Beach, CA and once in Nassau, Bahamas -- both times from shore. Corbina in CA and barracuda in the Bahamas, nothing over 3 pounds. Mark.
