A few bivalves to show.

Recommended Posts

I've mentioned that I don't get out to hunt as often as I used to, but I was off for a few hikes over plowed fields with a friend and colleague last fall and did manage to make a few finds which I'd like to show here. I've been waiting patiently until my friend had some time to let me use his prep workshop since, as I've also previously mentioned, I gave up my own workshop as a consequence of my moving house last year. I finally got down to it a couple of weeks ago and managed to salvage a few interesting Actinostreon marshii bivalves from the region around Geisingen, BW in the action. Here they are.

Very nice looking!  I have a similar form that I collected from the Cretaceous of Texas that is one of my favorites.  Thanks for showing!

And if you don't watch out, they can take a bite out of you as shown by this one from my collection :D
