Tguiri Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 I bought this in a market in Chiapas, Mexico. They told me that it was from San Juan Cancuc, Chiapas, Mexico and it was found underwater. I have no other info. I have noticed some line marks inside the tube.

Miocene_Mason Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Welcome to TFF! Perhaps a rudist. If it is from where it is said to be from, there is mostly late Cretaceous limestone with interspersed Paleocene and Eocene sandstone. Perhaps others will be able to say more. For future reference, I don’t believe the Mexican Government takes kindly to the export of fossils. 2 “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s fine, just wouldn’t want someone getting in trouble for a law they didn’t know about.

abyssunder Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Rudist will be my guess for the specimen in question, unfortunately - Pons et al., 2016a - is unreachable for most of us.
