FranzBernhard Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 (edited) Lower valve of radiolitid rudist? The smooth thing could be the filling of the former void (steinkern, internal mold). The outer thing could be remnants of the shell. Am I seeing mesh or cellular structure there? This would be typical of radiolitid rudists. Here is an example, the left one is a transverse section, the right one a longitudinal section through fragments of the lower valve of radiolitid rudists: Franz Bernhard Edited January 5, 2022 by FranzBernhard 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abyssunder Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 I agree with Franz, it could be an internal mold of a rudist. It would be very important to know the geological age of the sediments holding your specimen and the location of the find for a possible narrowing down to the genus/species. The rudists of Morocco are not well described yet, hope they will be in the future.
