TRexEliot Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 A bivalve fossil I found at Big Brook yesterday. First one like it I've ever seen, so thought it might be something interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 I'm not at all familiar with the fauna from that area, but it looks to me that it might be a Pressastarte or a Nicaniella.

FossilNerd Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 I think @Fossildude19 and @Jeffrey P are familiar with Big Brook fauna.

frankh8147 Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 It's definitely something interesting! I have thousands of bivalve imprints on Wenonah slabs (below) but none like this! I'm going to work on getting you an answer because this is really interesting to me. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRexEliot Posted April 19 Author Share Posted April 19 (edited) @frankh8147 forgot to update this, but I gave the specimen to Ralph Johnson and, after quite a bit of research and going through the collection to compare, he emailed me to say "the small clam is very similar to Vetericardia crenalirata (Conrad)."
