Gregory Kruse Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Hello, I found these bivalves in north Cape Coral, 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 these fossils? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coco Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Please put all your fossils from the same source in the same subject, with one number per photo. No need to create a topic for everyone.

hemipristis Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 The one on the right resembles Plicatula sp., a small “oyster”-like bivalve The one on the left has a passing resemblance to Nuculana sp. but the umbilical/hinge are wrong 'Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.'

Gregory Kruse Posted February 7, 2021 Author Share Posted February 7, 2021 Thanks all, and thank you Coco for the formatting suggestion @Coco . I will use that format moving forward. That will make it easier for fossil identification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
