Wrangellian Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Looks like a Pholadomya to me (if Mesozoic), but I'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Monte Bolca is Eocene in age, but, more known for its fish fossils. Don't know if bivalves were found there.

Don't know if bivalves were found there. Never saw a bivalve from there. Monte Bolca was a lagoon where frequent mass extinctions occured. Seems unlikely to me. 1 Be not ashamed of mistakes and thus make them crimes (Confucius, 551 BC - 479 BC). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
