kurtdog Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Any ideas on this one? Found it at Pit 11, 1960s. I have it as the head of a chaetognath, or similar worm. But it's almost like a petrified specimen, and that's what's so strange. Just never seen anything like it out of Mazon. Hope these pics come out (my first time at that)...

Xiphactinus Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 It's a kind of clam....can't remember the species. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 It's a nice, partly articulated clam (I think). Good 3-D Creek fossil!

kurtdog Posted August 12, 2008 Author Share Posted August 12, 2008 It's a kind of clam....can't remember the species. Thanks. See what I thought? This is a photo of a chaetognath head... Anyway, looked through the ISM database about a year ago, and couldn't find anything like it. Also, been to the Field Museum of Natural History, looked through some of that exhaustive collection, and no such luck... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Your's is very 3-D. Here's a pic of a typical Creek clam: "There has been an alarming increase in the number of things I know nothing about." - Ashleigh Ellwood Brilliant “Try to learn something about everything and everything about something.” - Thomas Henry Huxley >Paleontology is an evolving science. >May your wonders never cease!
