Brachiopod? Bivalve?


fossiling

Recommended Posts

I found this nice brachiopod/bivalve shell fossil during my trip this year to Okinawa. I believe it is cenozoic in age. I would like to identify the species. I successfully chipped it out of the rock- no, more like it popped out itself- and here's the photo.

Pictures are much too blurry to make any accurate assessment. :( 

 

Try taking the photos in natural daylight.  

I can barely make out the lines of a shell in the 1st photo.

Your shell may be a bit too broken to make any kind of ID.
