augustus Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Today, I found one small piece of fossil-like thing in a sandstone rock. I found it in a valley, where there is one small river with rocks which contain many brachiopods, coral, favosites fossils. But this one is different, it is in one piece of soft sandstone rock, others are in harder rocks. Western boarder of the great basin of Sichuan, China. petal_20221129_222903.mp4 Link to post Share on other sites
Darktooth Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Looks like part of a bivalve. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
augustus Posted November 29, 2022 Author Share Posted November 29, 2022 Hi Darktooth, Thank you for your answer. This thing has a sharp edge line on its "back". You can see the edge line from the following two pics.I didn't see one type of Bivalve has the same shape, but the number of fossil I know is low,maybe your suggestion is correct. Anyway, thanks for your help! Link to post Share on other sites
Mark Kmiecik Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 I agree with bivalve -- However it is just a chip off the shoulder of the bivalve. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
