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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max-fossils Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 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 Max Derème "I feel an echo of the lightning each time I find a fossil.
