Brondonh Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 I found this in Venice florida. I was wondering if anyone knew the species. I believe it's a scallop. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aek Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Possibly Lyropecten sp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FossilDAWG Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 I'd guess Carolinapecten eboreus , but @MikeR will know for sure. A photo of the interior would be very helpful, including a close-up of the interior of the beak and hinge area if possible. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeR Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Can you take a picture along the front edge so I can see the rib profile?

MikeR Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 The ribbing is stronger than I have seen with most C. eboreus, but it isn't Chesapecten so I would also say eboreus. 1 "A problem solved is a problem caused"--Karl Pilkington "I was dead for millions of years before I was born and it never inconvenienced me a bit." -- Mark Twain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
