Scylla Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Lovely fossils, in that large, bowl shaped coral, were those gastropods associated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astron Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 Those are beautiful Pecten specimens especially for the size. I have found a few at California sites (Kettleman Hills, Bakersfield - Olcese Sand) but they have been smaller and generally not as well-preserved. Thanks for the photos of the fossils found on Crete. I had seen only some goat bones and teeth which may not be fossil but are from an extinct form. Many thanks siteseer for your comments. You are right. The two pectens are unusually big. In my google searcing I haven' t seen larger. Best regards Astrinos Astrinos P.

Many thanks Scylla for your comments If we are talking about the same item, these shells are not on a coral but on their matrix as they were found. Best wishes Astrinos Astrinos P.
