SOS Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 So this was given to me years ago by a miner when i was getting an underground tour at the national coal mining museum in yorkshire. Can anyone tell me if it's actually a fossil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TqB Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Yes, they are fossils. I think they are non-marine bivalves such as Carbonicola or Anthraconaia. Beds of these occur intermittently throughout the Coal Measures. 5 Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
