Sacha Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I had the good fortune to visit the CEMEX Brooksville mine with the Tampa Bay Fossil Club last week, where I wanted to look specifically for examples of Phymotaxis mansfieldi. I had dolomitic casts from the Santa Fe river, but that was it. I was fortunate enough to find a nice one this trip along with a very tiny one and a partial. This post, however, is looking for the ID for the rather large "clammy" bivalve which was fairly common in the Suwannee Limestone in this mine. Anyone familiar with this guy? Appreciate the time! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minnbuckeye Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Nice finds!! Especially the Phymotaxis. Are the others all Eupatagus antillarum? Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Sorry I can't help with id, but congrats anyway on that Phymotaxis. Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Suwannee limestone the super common echinoid is Rhyncholampas gouldii 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone familiar with this guy? The bivalve is a Lucinid or more specifically belongs to the family Lucinidae.

Sacha Posted November 5, 2019 Author Share Posted November 5, 2019 Thanks Mike. I recognize the photos aren't very good, but Roger Portell concurs and add that they could be Miltha or Lucina. Would better pictures help to get to species? I could try tomorrow with some better light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
