The cutest Aviculopecten you will ever see!

HI all,

 

Found this one this week, a 5mm juvenile Aviculopecten.  Until this, we had not seen in 25 years of searching Permian marine (or Cretaceous Dakota Marine) such a small specimen. The smallest we ever found was a  quarter to 50 cent sized.  Isnt it cute?  ;)

Nice little critter! Reminds me of finding a super tiny chesapectan, just as exciting as a biggun!

Happy hunting,
