Who wants to play "name that ecphora!   first one up is from choptank formation I believe. I didn't take field notes cause I'm a rookie.

Second one is a weird one from my collection. The ribs are flat at the top but kind of bulge a bit though not really t shaped like gardnerae Wilson.

Are both from the same location?  Top is Ecphora megenae.  Not sure of the second specimen.

Second one maybe Ecphora quadricostata?

That species is now known to be Pliocene so not found in MD (as far as I know)

I can't recall the location for the second.  But I think I identified it as tricostata Martin. I was just unsure.

Thank you very much. I recently posted a photo of an ephora from Matoaka Beach that looks just like that.
