Fossildude19 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 (edited) Hey M2R, That's a pretty cool fossil. You have, on the left hand side, a partial pelecypod (clam, bivalve). The smooth, oval, striated part. On the right, the bumpy looking part, is an external mold of a coral - Pleurodictyum sp. Both are Devonian in age. Neat find, for sure. Thanks for sharing this.

Auspex Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I agree; Pleurodictyum coral. 1 "There has been an alarming increase in the number of things I know nothing about." - Ashleigh Ellwood Brilliant “Try to learn something about everything and everything about something.” - Thomas Henry Huxley >Paleontology is an evolving science. >May your wonders never cease!

married2rick Posted November 8, 2015 Author Share Posted November 8, 2015 (edited) Thanks Tim & Auspex!I think the area that is a clam/bivalve looks like crunchy peanut butter would look like if u had a lump of it on the counter and you cupped your hand to clean it up and it smeared as you wiped and ended up being the coral. If that makes sense. I was thinking it was all the same fossil instead of 2 different ones.Thank you for helping me identify!
