CousinLarry Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Found this amongst some rocks and Agatized Coral at Dunedin Causeway in FL. Can anyone confirm that it's actually a fossil? And not just a modern cement mixer or something?! Pretty sure it is a fossil! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludwigia Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 It looks real enough to me, but maybe one of the locals can answer with more certainty. Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auspex Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 The matrix looks like the familiar Florida limestone karst.

ynot Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 +1 for fossil. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."

CousinLarry Posted March 15, 2019 Author Share Posted March 15, 2019 Woohoo! Thought so. It's cool looking, usually I just see the rock with the shell imprint. This is both sides of the scallop. Cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plantguy Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Yep that is a cool fossil find. I agree with the others...especially with both valves being present. Not sure what kind of pecten it is..maybe Argopecten but maybe Mike can say with these limited view... Nice find. Regards, Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shellseeker Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Definitely a Pecten and a fossil. I really like it when I am finding both shells and shark teeth in the same location. It will take MikeR to identify the specific shell...

CousinLarry Posted March 15, 2019 Author Share Posted March 15, 2019 Unfortunately no shark teeth where I live! I have to travel 1hr + to get anywhere productive. But the fishing is out if this world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeR Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Yes fossil.
