Bone Daddy Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Here are a couple of inverts that I found at a dry land site last year, put them in a cigar box and then forgot about them. I ran across them again while digging through my boxes. I managed to ID a couple of them (not shown), but a few eluded my ID attempts - I am not very good with inverts (many are similar). Does anyone know what these are? Any help would be greatly appreciated. The big one is 5 inches across and appears to be a cast. Another is some kind of scallop (I think) and the last photo is barnacles of some kind. These were all found in a spot that was rich in Miocene inverts.

Bronzviking Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Agree, first one is a internal cast of a bivalve, probably Nodipectin sp. Second is a Pectinidae and last Balanus or acorn barnacles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeR Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 The first photo is an internal cast of a scallop probably the same species as your second photo which is Carolinapecten eboreus. The last pic is the barnacle Chesaconcavus tamiamiensis. 2 "A problem solved is a problem caused"--Karl Pilkington "I was dead for millions of years before I was born and it never inconvenienced me a bit." -- Mark Twain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
