Dear TFF members,

 

Could be Parastarte triquetra (Conrad, 1846)    ?

 

Merrit island

Pleistocene

 

Thanks,

 

Ricardo

Can We see the outside of the shell?

Looks smooth, but I belive it will have weak radial ribbing with magnification because has denticulate internal margins. I will try a picture tomorrow with day luminosity. Unfortunatelly I have not literature about Pleistocene Florida Bivalvia.

 

Thanks, ynot

Parastarte triquetra does seem pretty similar to your shell, but I am not familiar with the species myself. It has been found in Pleistocene Florida sediments, so it's definitely an option. 

But it could be something else. 

@MikeR knows more about the fossil shells of Florida than I do :)

Thank you Max, I knew we were in the same boat on this one.
