One Beeeeeeeeautiful Scallop

[RJB]

I again went to my other property today to put my travel trailer away.  My youngest son was there to help,,,, so, I asked him if he wouldnt mind putting in some boxes for me to take back home.  Besides all kinds of other stuff, I ran into this big beauty today.  This is Patinopectin carinus.  Not sure if that is spelled right.  Comes from Scotia Bluffs in Humboldt County Northern California.  I used to sell a heck of a lot of these and sure am glad I saved one for me.  Very hard to get the 'ears'/'wings' on these things.  This one is much nicer than most.  Its now in my fossil office. 

  Oh, the rock this is on is a bit over 4 inches thick.  Quite heavy!

I was admiring the cube scale in the foreground. That @aerogrowersure gets around, doesn't he?

HA!!!   yeah, im a jerk.  Just got so much cool fossil stuff!   Not my fault.  I was forced to eat peas as a child.  Oh, I just found that lobster today too.  Not a good one and needs more work, but no face on the snargle dang thing.  Gunna try and sell that one this summer.

I think Raggedy was referring to the lobster as a photobombing jerk.

 

Spectacular scallop.
