PaleIO Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I was recently given an apple box full of fossils and minerals and I am starting to sort through it all. The man that gave me them traveled to many parts of the nation during his career so it is hard to say where they came from. A friend of mine suggested this could be a toe... any help is appreciated.

Ramon Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 No, definitely not a toe. It is a clam. From there I think it is a little too worn to make a proper id.

Fossildude19 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Maybe something like Artica,... or Protocardia?

fifbrindacier Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Surely not a toe, surly a clam of cardia type as said the others.

PaleIO Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share Posted January 18, 2017 thanks everyone...I was skeptical of the toe theory from the begging but I knew just the place to find out! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
