New Mexico fossil

[Leesaa]

I found these today northwest of albuquerque. They were near an area small shark teeth can be found.  I have no idea what it is. They were near each other with other pieces, broken up. So I believe they are pieces from the same creature. I will try to post more pics later.

The crystal patterns tell me it is a fragment of an Inoceramid clam.  These are common in late Cretaceous marine deposits.

Here is a photo. I could see them before......

Wow JPC, thank you! Awesome to get an answer so fast!! I am looking at pics and it does seem possible. Do the ridges match what a clam would have too? They looked almost tooth like to my amateur eyes.

I am getting a gray European "Do Not Enter" sign in your pix.  Never seen that here.
