Top Trilo Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 I don’t remember exactly where I found these either Florida South Carolina or North Carolina but I was wondering what some of these were if it’s possible to tell and are they fossilized? 1 looks like a turitellid gastropod, 2, 5, and 6 all have the squared off hinge and may be all the same but the colors are different 3 is not symmetric but angled to one side, 7 are cool and spiky, 8 are slightly angled but the hinge part isn’t well preserved 9 I have no clue they may all be different 10 I also have no idea, 11 is some sort of shell, 12 another snail shell and no clue on 13. Any and all help is appreciated, there is a lot I don’t know about there, oh and they are all on an 8 by 11 inch piece of paper.

Top Trilo Posted January 15, 2021 Author Share Posted January 15, 2021 Some research shows 9 may be anomia, 1 may be terebridae, 8 may be Plicatula, 7 arcinella “If fossils are not "boggling" your mind then you are simply not doing it right” -Ken (digit) "No fossil is garbage, it´s just not completely preserved” -Franz (FranzBernhard) "With hammer in hand, the open horizon of time, and dear friends by my side, what can we not accomplish together?" -Kane (Kane) "We are in a way conquering time, reuniting members of a long lost family" -Quincy (Opabinia Blues) "I loved reading the trip reports, I loved the sharing, I loved the educational aspect, I loved the humor.

Thomas.Dodson Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Agreed with Coco and minnbuckeye. I'll add that 9 and 13 look like Anomiidae 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thecosmilia Trichitoma Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Look like worn modern shells to me. Although some color patterns can be preserved, they aren’t that close, and the slight sheen doesn’t seem fossilized. Fossils either have none or a very consistent sheen. Still, cool finds. 1 It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt -Mark Twain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T., I think they are recent species, but they are interesting too, I collect them...

Top Trilo Posted January 16, 2021 Author Share Posted January 16, 2021 Thanks everyone, I though they were modern but wasn't positive.
