fossilized6s Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I just found this little guy tonight. It's about 1/2"x1/4" and tappers down. It's overall shape looks like a clam. I have some ideas from Jack's Flora book, but nothing 100%. Any help is appreciated. Thanks for looking.

RCFossils Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 It appears to be a bivalve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fossilized6s Posted July 7, 2014 Author Share Posted July 7, 2014 It appears to be a bivalve I thought that too given the shape and hinge point. But this also came from pit #2. Would this be a freshwater bivalve then? ~Charlie~ "There are those that look at things the way they are, and ask why.....i dream of things that never were, and ask why not?" ~RFK ->Get your Mosasaur print ->How to spot a fake Trilobite ->How to identify a CONCRETION from a DINOSAUR EGG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCFossils Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Yes, it is most likely a freshwater clam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fossilized6s Posted July 8, 2014 Author Share Posted July 8, 2014 Thank you sir. It looks like a Acharax radiata. ~Charlie~ "There are those that look at things the way they are, and ask why.....i dream of things that never were, and ask why not?" ~RFK ->Get your Mosasaur print ->How to spot a fake Trilobite ->How to identify a CONCRETION from a DINOSAUR EGG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
