When I was a young teen in Cincinnati bivalves were called pelecypods.  I thought I would share images from my Cincinnatian collection.  Photo1 is an Ambonychia bivalve collected and identified by the Cincinnati Dry Dredgers.  Photos 2 and 3 are of cymatonata and cyrtodontula bivalves that were sent to me by a friend in Cincinnati.  I identified them by comparison with photos on the online Atlas of Ordovician Life (this site specializes in Cincinnatian fossils).  Hopefully these photos will assist others in identifying fossils.
