caldigger Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 You'd need a really big basket and rake to go clamming for those guys! Nice that you got it out complete, well done. I hope it's not going on a glass display shelf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwise Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Very nice specimen... Thanks for your help in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verydeadthings Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Wow, nice find! What age is it? The size alone should make it easy to identify once the age is known. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPC, Should i keep using it as a conversation piece or would it be worthwile to clean it up and scrape off all the loose material and see what lies underneath ?

Fossildude19 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I'd freeze/thaw it, see what's inside it.
