Max-fossils Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Hi all, Slightly incomplete, but I think that this shell is from the Veneroidea order, and possibly the Veneridae. I would like to narrow that down a little more though, hopefully to species. Is Callista chione perhaps a possibility? It's from Antwerp, Belgium. "Scaldisian" of the Pliocene (3 myo), Kattendijk Formatie (?). Thanks in advance, Max 1 Max Derème "I feel an echo of the lightning each time I find a fossil.

Tidgy's Dad Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Certainly the right area. Not sure of the range of the species you mention, but Callista seems about right. Even some of the Venus sp. are very similar to this. 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not ready to give this one away, but if you would like I could send you some very similar ones (from the same family): 1 Max Derème "I feel an echo of the lightning each time I find a fossil.
