Timeo Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Hello everyone! My little brother made this nice find near Thrupp Lake in Abingdon, Oxfordshire, UK. The lake is close to the Thames river. It looks like some sort of shell fossil? The rock is about 8cm wide and 5cm tall. We'd appreciate any help identifying it! Thank you.

Tidgy's Dad Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 (edited) Looks like a Trigonia bivalve, or Myophorella, one of that family. Edited September 6, 2021 by Tidgy's Dad 3 2 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
