Hi all, I'm wondering if this might be a Requienia fragment? It's a circular, very flat piece, about 22cm (8.7") wide at the bottom, embedded in a block quarried from the central-Texas Austin Chalk. As you can see, due to the block being cut / broken off, it's shaped like a semi-circle, or maybe a setting sun, with some residual rock matrix in the center. Some faint stripes are visible that curve clockwise along with the general arc of the thing. It's VERY flat and thin. There's nothing to be seen while looking at the block from the lower side. Otherwise I would have included a pic. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Help on identifying species, age, and region of this pelecypod found in Michigan, US?
Zippy.Shrimp.Feet posted a topic in Fossil ID
I recently found a large stone hosting many of these pelecypods. I assume this is a limestone, as it has a slight reaction to acid, and there didn't seem to be any other super identifiable fossils, aside from some possible crinoid remnants. Its hinge is located far off to the side. These were found from rock placed along the Saginaw River in a small park in Michigan, so I can't say they were naturally from this area, but are local to Michigan. The ones I found range in size from about 25mm to 57mm. I would appreciate it greatly if anyone has any insight on the possible species, geological age, and where they might have originated from in the state? Thanks in advance for any help that can be provided..thumb.jpg.6360f52d61816c80248b8c39c7192d1a.jpg)

Cretaceous bivalve? South Central TX, USA (I know this is a long shot)
Jiesen posted a topic in Fossil ID
Any thoughts on this? I know it's a stab in the dark, due to the small partial remnant. This is embedded in a large landscaping stone that was quarried in South Central TX, USA, almost certainly between San Antonio and Austin. So it's Cretaceous, for sure. It measures about 60 mm in length (house key for additional scale). What you see here is all that's visible, unfortunately. I appreciate the feedback!

I found this odd fossil jutting out of a weathered large landscaping stone, probably locally quarried from just north of San Antonio, TX. House key for scale. I'm thinking Inoperna? That same stone has lots of worm tubes and other little conglomerated bivalves. Thanks for any input!

Found on a beach walk near Port Townsend WA. Approximately 3.5" long with some enamel/varnish at the tip.

A bivalve fossil I found at Big Brook yesterday. First one like it I've ever seen, so thought it might be something interesting.
