MSirmon Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Here are a sampling of the oysters(?) I found in Fluvana last year. Any help identifying them would be appreciated but would especially appreciate direction to good research materials to help me identify the rest of them, provided they are not all variations of the same type.

abyssunder Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I think in Fluvanna, Texas could be the Walnut/Comanche facies. Most of your oysters looks like Exogyra, maybe some of them are Exogyra texana Roemer. Here is a good document which could help: Stanton, T. W. 1947.

JohnJ Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 @abyssunder is likely correct. This oyster is now known as Ceratostreon texanum (Roemer). The human mind has the ability to believe anything is true. - JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abyssunder Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Yes, JohnJ is correct.That's the new name, also, the other from plate 30 Exogyra texana weatherfordensis Cragin is now Ceratostreon weatherfordensis, if I'm not wrong.
