Plantguy Posted May 18, 2018 Author Share Posted May 18, 2018 Here's some of the "cowries". One of them was in a pond...I knew what it was by the overall shape/distinctive end opening curvature. I remember it was quite slimey with algae but no matrix to fool with! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking they were borings as there are what appears to be fine filaments running between the orbs/pellets. Here's a shot that shows a few of them although they might still be hard to see. Does that rule out the algae or is it possible to have both represented. Thanks for the info on the Sconsia and Chesapecten.
