Fossils4U Posted April 30, 2012 Author Share Posted April 30, 2012 I have a new find on the fossil of the month forum. I was wondering if you could check it out for me?? THANK YOU! No. Those are good illustrations. But it still doesn't match ones I have either collected or seen in other collections. The left, upper, valve in G. vomer is normally slightly concave and they don't get that big. The illustrations do appear at first to be very similar but the written descriptions add the missing info. I've looked thru a few books (various NJ & TX, Case and IFNA) and can not find an exact match. But it seems closest to the classic "Ostrea" or maybe Liostrea or as suggested Flemingostrea and I wouldn't rule out Crassostrea. Oysters are notoriously varied in their appearance so a better shot of the interiors of both valves and tighter stratigraphic info would help. But it is such a nice specimen that I'm sure someone will figure it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
