Unknown Bivalve

I would go with E. costata as well. I'm not sure if both valves are matching but it is a nice specimen.

It's hard to remember why you drained the swamp when your surrounded by alligators.

Thank you any idea where it is found and is thirty dollars too much

If it is what we think it is (and without location, we'll never know), it is a very common fossil.

It is worth what you might be willing to part with, if it fascinates, but it is not an investment fossil.

E. costata would be a very reasonable identification. And yes both valves are there, the larger left valve and the flat right valve, although it is incomplete. As Auspex mentioned they are common where found. It is an index fossil for the very Late Cretaceous. I think the most I have seen these go for in rock shops is $5. And they are so big they would cost at least $5 to ship.
