val horn Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 A friend brought me a gift from their travels. All I know is that it is from Al-khoud, in Oman. I dont know anything else and google didnt offer much. It looks to me to be a collection of 2 sizes of bivalves, and some larger shell pieces. Any and all help will be appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abyssunder Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Nummulites, I agree! 1 " We are not separate and independent entities, but like links in a chain, and we could not by any means be what we are without those who went before us and showed us the way.

val horn Posted July 7, 2022 Author Share Posted July 7, 2022 are most of the fossils seen here 2 different large nummulites and not bivalves? Does this suggest a eocene fossil formation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abyssunder Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Eocene would be good for geological age. I'm not sure about the two large ones. They look contorted like the very large Nummulites I have in my collection, but they are more thick. The prismatic structure of them and their thickness suggest bivalve, but I'm not 100% sure. 1 1 " We are not separate and independent entities, but like links in a chain, and we could not by any means be what we are without those who went before us and showed us the way.

Agree with abyssunder (ciao abyssunder), though I would not rule out Discocyclina sp. which are often very elongated and sometimes rounded with elongated and contorted extremities ciao. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
