barefootgirl Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 I really like everyones shells. Here are some that I have collected.

barefootgirl Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 One more clam and some other shells. B) Worthy your clam with the crystals in it is still one of my favorite fossils on here. That thing is a real beauty. In formal logic, a contradiction is the signal of defeat: but in the evolution of real knowledge, it marks the first step in progress toward victory.

Ron E. Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Here are some I found in St. Pete Beach Florida last month. These are from the Lower Caloosahatchee Beds, Early Pliocene. Picked up out of the walkways on a city park. The locals thought I was a little weird, but I got a nice haul! Plicatula marginata. My schnauzer and I are both impressed that this guy still has both valves attached after all these millions of years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tracer Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Those brachs look like they came from Taylorsville. no they were in my fossil room. oh, and i put in the pictures of the exogyras and the pycnodonte because i really like exogyras and ilymatogyras, for reasons unknown to me. and the pycnodonte has always had low self esteem and i chose it so it would just get the ego boost of being photographed for a website, but don't tell it i said that. it does have the other valve and is a nice pinkish color and is large and showy, but still. it's a pycnodonte, and you know how they are...

Phoenixflood Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 ...Odd shell Phoenix...but somehow familiar...Hmmmm... Well, I did a little digging and it seems to be an Ecphora stenomphalus. Just curious to know how many people have one in their collection? The soul of a Fossil Hunter is one that is seeking, always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOROPUS Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Coon Creek, Chipola Formation and a few other places: Are they Pliocene? Looks like the preservation would be the same as other Plio stuff... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Are they Pliocene? Looks like the preservation would be the same as other Plio stuff... What is most remarkable about the preservation in this formation is that it is Maastrichtian!
