Monterey Formation (Miocene) shell fossils - Arroyo Seco Canyon - Central California Coast Range
ezeemonee posted a topic in Member Collections
Found in Miocene period Monterey formation in Arroyo Seco canyon of Central California Coast Range. Trochita is an undescribed species known from this formation. Others are mostly Brachiopods (Discinisca lamellosa) which surprisingly is not extinct and still lives in some oceans, Scallops (Pectenidae), Venus Clams (Veneridae), Ark Shells (Anadara/Scapharca), and an unknown Moon Snail (Nacticidae). Most found in 2024, some in 2019. Added a few pics of the nice scenery in the canyon. Trochita specimen is noteworthy as being in good condition with surface detail and may get donated to the California Academy of Sciences collection.- 2 replies

Anadara diluvii ?? - Styrian Basin of Austria - Miocene, Badenium (ca. 15 Ma)
FranzBernhard posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello, and another bivalve from the Miocene Styrian basin of Austria. It has some resemblance with Anadara diluvii, but I am not totally sure. It is associated with a brackisch fauna (Crassostrea gryphoides, Pirenella picta, Terebralia bidentata). For comparison a typical Anadara diluvii from the same area, but another locality, is also attached (size 2 cm). This type is also abundant at other localities in the area (typically with marine fauna). All suggestions and comments are greatly appreciated! Franz Bernhar
