Typically mollusks in the Tampa Member are preserved as either internal molds or silica pseudomorphs. 2 1 "A problem solved is a problem caused"--Karl Pilkington "I was dead for millions of years before I was born and it never inconvenienced me a bit." -- Mark Twain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
