kaarenlinton Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 This fossil shell was found on Marco Island beach (Naples, Florida). Any help identifying what it is would be greatly appreciated.
sixgill pete Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 @kaarenlinton You would get more looks if this was posted in the fossil I.D. forum. @Fossildude19 @FossilDAWG Can one of you move this.

FossilDAWG Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 We need to see the underside of the shell to be able to suggest an ID. Don
kaarenlinton Posted February 3, 2020 Author Posted February 3, 2020 The underside is all full of matrix. I didn't think I should clean that out because the shell might be broken or damaged if I did that.
