Precambrian Man Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 (edited) Been diggin again,this is what i have come up with this time. I have read that they are termed generally as "Mollusks".It states bivalves and ammonites fall within this general term. Are they both of the same family?? thanks.

-Andy- Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Hello! That's a nice find. I believe you would have better luck in the Fossil ID section of our forums > http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/forum/14-fossil-id/ Looking forward to meeting my fellow Singaporean collectors! Do PM me if you are a Singaporean, or an overseas fossil-collector coming here for a holiday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_ed Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Hi Walley I think we should start by saying that you are holding a bivalve and ammonites are cephalopods. You found a couple nice bivalves there.. cheers Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auspex Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 The basic pigeon holes of taxonomic classification are: Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species "King Phillip, Come Out For Goodness Sake" Each tier down groups organisms by closer relationship.

Precambrian Man Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 You've got yourself a gorgeous diggin' spot. Thankyou for comment,this area is diverse geologically.50 million year old eocene volcanics up against the much older 160 million year old jurassic marine structure.In top right of photo the white area is an old eocene lake bed overlain by volcanics.In these beds,insects,plants,fish fossil remains are found.
