Twin Beach, Washington; 2/17

[Neanderthal Shaman]

I'm very belated with this report, but it took until today to finish all the prep work on the pieces I picked up on this trip. This time was fun and quite productive, I went out with my brother and 2 of our friends. None of them are of the fossil hunting persuasion, but they enjoyed it nonetheless.

 

 

This Liracassis apta was a great opportunity to test out the chisel attachment on my new air scribe.

Some more gastropods

 

 

 

Aforia clallamensis

 

 

 

Callianopsis clallamensis (ghost shrimp) claws. I imagine there is no better place for finding this particular species than on this beach.

Beautiful gastropods and shrimp claws. Congratulations on your finds and thanks for sharing.

Well done

The claws are fantastic. We find Callianassid claws in concretions in the Cretaceous in a few places in N.C., but I have not seen any as nicely preserved.

Those are really nice finds, I particularly like those gastropods. The ghost shrimp claws are also nice. You can find them in the Cretaceous streams in New Jersey, but never in the condition of those concretions.
