Pool Man Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Hello, Here are a few of my florida inverts. These were collected in the same creek that I find the late pleistocene mammal and reptile material. The shell layer is a mix of sandy/shelly deposits and a light grey(almost white) clay layer.

kauffy Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Those are Awesome Dan, You dont see a lot of florida inverts, but they are suure purty! The detail on them is very nice, they look very fragile?

Pool Man Posted February 16, 2008 Author Share Posted February 16, 2008 When the thin walled shells come out of the creek, they are almost like wet chalk. But they dry out fairly hard. The big clams are thick and sturdy and were often used by indians to smash plants into fibers for rope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
