FossilDAWG Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Welcome to the Forum! Nice find! We need a side view that shows the opening, as the shape of that opening distinguishes between the two species of Hardouinia in your area. Don 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Jwarder Posted April 9, 2022 Author Share Posted April 9, 2022 I could not find this listed so I thought it did not post. I posted about it again. It will be fine if an admin wants to get rid of the second one. So sorry. So what would the age be out these? Roughly. Link to post Share on other sites

Edstamm Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 I am vacationing at Holden Beach right now. These are *everywhere* on the beach, often outnumbering shells. One could walk a quarter mile with a basket and pick up a hundred in 10 minutes. I’ve been vacationing here every year for 25 years, and these are new. As mentioned, some dredging must have uncovered a huge buried area of them. Really amazing. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
