kingpotatoman Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 I found a rock with a few shells on the outside so I split the rock in half with a hammer and I found this. Any information about this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abyssunder Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 They are most likely Caritodens bivalves. picture from here similar one here 1 " We are not separate and independent entities, but like links in a chain, and we could not by any means be what we are without those who went before us and showed us the way.

erose Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Caritodens is, to the best of my knowledge, an Ordovician genus. Northeast Ohio, Akron area will be younger, Devonian or possibly Carboniferous. Plenty of other similar genera but despite the similarity not Caritodens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
