One huge mussel shell

Recommended Posts

Get a load of this Bivalve!!!  I used to find a few of these back in the day.  These come from a very private property that was located in the Falore formation in Northern california.  I was lucky enough to be privy for collecting.  No more of these will ever be collected.  Sad.  But what a super cool mussel shell!!!  And quite HUGE!!!

Too bad any more won't come out.

Why are they so large in just that location I wonder?
