ynot Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 How far from a water source are You? Looks like a modern fresh water clam that is commonly used as fish bait.

ynot Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 There is really no way to be sure. It is possible that it was brought there by someone many years ago. If You can find more there then it becomes more likely to be a fossil. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."

Al Dente Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 I think it is a modern species of Corbicula, the Asiatic clam. It is an invasive species that has spread to many countries. It is found in most rivers in the US and a quick Google search shows it is in Serbia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abyssunder Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 How many ribs/cm are visible on the shell?
