gowcoizer Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Hello again. So the story behind those is that I found the smaller one when I was a child.. may be around 15 years ago and I kept it to bring me memories for the adventurous spirit from those times. This year, my brother found the bigger one.. it is similar but a little bit larger so I decided for a first time to investigate the origins. I found the little one in area with trees and leafs on the ground and somehow I think I stepped and dug it from the ground cause the angle of the soil was too sheer. The area is central Bulgaria, seems like some kind of cockle ? Seen more like this ? The closest sea is 180km away... is that a proof for area being full of water may be long time ago?

Al Dente Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Very nice. I think these are Trigonia, a type of marine bivalve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FossilDudeCO Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Also to answer one of your questions. Yes. These are evidence of the area being covered by a shallow sea millions of years ago! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 These could very well be scaphotrigonia navis which would place them in the early to middle Jurassic. Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gowcoizer Posted January 13, 2017 Author Share Posted January 13, 2017 Best match visually at least from my opinion and google images results shows to Trigonia caudata & Pterotrigonia caudata. I am trying to feel like travelling in time ;d.. thank you guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I guess now that we've got you on the right track you can decide for yourself, since you can see it yourself a lot better than we can from our perspective Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

gowcoizer Posted January 13, 2017 Author Share Posted January 13, 2017 Yeap, much help. A man doesn't know where to start searching and those names you gave were the most important clue. I am not examinotr or something to put it under microscope and analyze it layer by layer, just curiousity. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
