astron Posted March 20, 2011 Author Share Posted March 20, 2011 Astron, do you know the name of your shells ? Do you have publications to help to identify them ? Coco Oh! That's a good question, Coco. Unfortunately not. If I had, I think that the items would be id'ed. I tried google sometimes but I was rather confused, so I gave it up.

xonenine Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 (edited) Ive been looking for a good invertebrate book for you, and came across this link (for Cretes Miocene plants) that I thought you might like, Carmine .Miocene Leaf Assemblage (PDF) Edited March 20, 2011 by xonenine "Your serpent of Egypt is bred now of your mud by the operation of your sun; so is your crocodile."

I tried google sometimes but I was rather confused, so I gave it up. Thanks for the question Best regards Astrinos Just a suggestion, but maybe Fruitbat could help you out. He's got an amazing library as I'm sure you've already noticed and I could imagine he has his sources. It would be good if you could give more of your fantastic finds at least a Genus name. Or how about contacting a palaeontologist at the nearest natural science museum? They're usually helpful when it comes to IDs. Best wishes, Roger. Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

siteseer Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Those are beautiful Pecten specimens especially for the size. I have found a few at California sites (Kettleman Hills, Bakersfield - Olcese Sand) but they have been smaller and generally not as well-preserved. Thanks for the photos of the fossils found on Crete. I had seen only some goat bones and teeth which may not be fossil but are from an extinct form. My bigger two pectens: 1.Argopecten irradians 23 x 19,8 cm. Only one valve found (4 pics) and 2.Pecten latissimus 23,3 x 18,3 x 6 cm (6 pics) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
