Tidgy's Dad Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 They do look like spiny spondylid bivalves. I think what you have there is that the outer mineralized and replaced shell has been broken away in some places to reveal the internal mould underneath. Thus it appears like one inside the other. Except for the last couple of shots that show a couple of specimens near/ overlapping each other. Nice finds! Life's Good! Tortoise Friend.

Gen. et sp. indet. Posted May 16, 2018 Author Share Posted May 16, 2018 Thank you for the answer! 1 hour ago, Tidgy's Dad said: the outer minerlized and replaced shell has been broken away in some places to reveal the internal mould underneath. Thus it appears like one inside the other. Yes, I know that! I was referring to the specimen No. 2, which clearly shows a smaller individual on one side of the larger.
