Pennsylvanian Bivalve from Oklahoma

Recommended Posts

Over the last several months I have been using a freeze-thaw method to open up some phosphate nodules I collected from a Middle Pennsylvanian site I visited in Northern Oklahoma. Over the weekend one nodule split open to expose this tiny bivalve. It is only about 9mm in size. I have tried in vain to identify it. Does anyone happen to know what this could be? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Perhaps a Myalina sp.?

I agree but it seems very elongated for the species I usually find in OK, M. subquadrata so maybe another one I don't know. about

Thank you! I believe the small Myalina is M. swallovi.
