Thomas.Dodson Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 These are some unidentified mollusk fossils I collected among the dredge spoils along the Savannah River in Savannah, Georgia a couple years back. Because of the mixed nature of the dredge sediments exact aging isn't possible but they represent Miocene, Pliocene, and Pleistocene sediments. Most of the stuff from this site has been identified and @MikeR's resources have been a great help for some other ones but I'd like some help on these. # 1, 2, and 3. Some Muricid? I'm not really sure where to start to try and narrow it down. #4 #5 Crepidula sp.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas.Dodson Posted January 15, 2021 Author Share Posted January 15, 2021 #6. Some Cancellaria sp.? The columnella is mostly gone but there is one strong plication left. #7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FossilDAWG Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 @MikeR is usually the most adept at IDing these. Don 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coco Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 4 looks like recent Nassarius or its family. OK for Crepidula.

("oyster drills") Much obliged. I suspected #1 might be different from #2 and #3, I just listed them together that way because I suspected they were all Muricidae. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeR Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 1. Eupleura maybe E. caudata 2 & 3. Urosalpinx cinerea 4. Nassarius 5. Crepidula maybe C. fornicata 6. Nassarius trivittatus 7.
