-Andy- Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 (edited) I am cleaning up and labeling all my fossils, and thus i have the fun task of trying to identify all of them. Problem is, I am no fossil expert, and so I am here once more to ask for help. First up, corals. The brown coral on the left comes from Africa, and I purchased it from the HK ebay dealer, gaofudev. The other three corals below were picked up from the beaches of Singapore, Thailand and Bintan. Next, my shells. The bivalve on the left came from Whitby, Yorkshire, and is supposedly Jurassic aged. The gastropod on the right is most likely Turritella Terebra from Indonesia, however I need help in determining its age. Lastly, my coprolite. This one is likely a dino coprolite from the Cretaceous age, and is from Madagascar. I can't confirm that however, and it would be nice of someone to help me double-check on it. That's it! Thanks for helping! Edited January 31, 2012 by FireEel Looking forward to meeting my fellow Singaporean collectors!

Kosmoceras Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Your shell from Whitby is called Plagiostoma gigantea. Nice fossils by the way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ammojoe Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Sorry, but I beg to differ. The shell from Whitby is actually Pleuromya SP, it commonly occurs throughout Yorkshire. Joe Kind regards, Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Andy- Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 Looking at both species google images, I would have to agree it looks more like a Pleuromya.sp Looking forward to meeting my fellow Singaporean collectors!
