(Bit of an old topic, sorry...) I'm having a lot of trouble seeing bivalve steinkerns here. What made you guys say that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oxytropidoceras 1,139 Report post Posted January 8 I need to correct myself on this one. I meant to say "internal cast," instead of "internal mold," of a bivalve. Basically, that is what they look like. In the lower fossil of the bottommost picture, the pointed cast of the inside off a bivalve's umbo (beak) is the distinguishing feature. A picture can be seen in pelecypod internal cast-6 http://skywalker.cochise.edu/wellerr/fossil/pelecypod/fla06.htm http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/topic/67878-bivalve-internal-mold/ Umbo (bivalve) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umbo_(bivalve) Also look at Cucullaea corioensis McCoy, 1876 in “The Fossils of the Urban Sanctuary: Rickett's Point Victoria 3193" by Fearghus McSweeney & John Buckeridge” at: http://www.iubs.org/fileadmin/user_upload/Other-Publications/281-Ricketts-Point-Fossils_McSweeney-and-Buckeridge.pdf Yours, Paul H.
