Florida Bivalve Identification Help


Gregory Kruse

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

I found this bivalve along the Sanibel Causeway in Ft. Myers, FL.  They were in a pile of shells being used for landscaping so I presume that the sediments came from a nearby quarry of ?Pleistocene age, possibly the Caloosahatchee Fm.  Can someone help me verify and identify this fossil? 

 

Thank you!
