Sharks of SC Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 its called a steinkern, its the internal mold of a fossil clam shell. Nice find! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossildude19 Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Welcome to the Forum. I agree - Bivalve steinkern. Something similar to Cucullaea sp. or Arctica sp. Colloquially, they are called "deer hearts" or "turtle heads". Neat fossil.

Plax Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 lots of cucullea at Myrtle Beach. That would make it late cretaceous Peedee formation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
