Fossil identification Bergamo (italy)

[dolphion70]

talking to a friend he showed me a stone (about 9cm x 3cm) on which there are 2 fossils (they look like two shells).
The artifact was found 20 years ago during excavations for houses in the valleys of the province of Bergamo and he has kept it until today.
Can you tell me what it is and an approximate dating?

This looks like bivalve shell imprints, to me.

Not sure on age.

A geologic map of Bergamo might point to some possibilities.

You might try and use a geologic map to determine the age as it seems multiple formations outcrop around Bergamo. Try this.

 

I'm getting a distinct brachiopod feel but they also could be bivalves, it is hard for to tell from this pic.

First of all my apologize for my english. You have been very kind. I have consulted the geological map of the area of discovery. 

It could be Upper Noriker Rhaetian. Pecten?

Difficult to tell something more specific than already said.

Would you like to try googling for Triassic Fossils of Bergamo? Maybe something similar turns up?

Good idea. I try!
