DE&i Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 My son found this Bivalve From Saltwick bay North Yorkshire Coast and after playing around with the macro on my camera here are my final results. We believe it to be Dacryomya ovum would anyone else think so.

Terry Dactyll Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Looks a good match I reckon.... Plate 12... British Mesozoic Fossils... Cheers Steve... And Welcome if your a New Member... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DE&i Posted January 11, 2013 Author Share Posted January 11, 2013 Thanks for that Steve any idea with this one from the same place and how it came to form like this. I can visibly see six ammonites in this mass.

Terry Dactyll Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 (edited) Looking at the angle of the ribs they are ' Dacylioceras athleticum's '.... Looks like a close accumulation of shells on the seabed that have been encased in a single nodule... if it isnt to sticky prepwise that could make a very nice display piece if theres 6 in there....In my experience the outer surface ones in cases like this are sometimes just preserved body chambers for some reason... Very nice find, well done.... Edited January 11, 2013 by Terry Dactyll Cheers Steve... And Welcome if your a New Member... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrangellian Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I'd like to see that one after a good prepper (Steve?) has gotten thru with it - please show us if and when you get it done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DE&i Posted January 13, 2013 Author Share Posted January 13, 2013 I’d certainly put it in a self-addressed jiffy bag and post it to Steve if he’d like to have a go. .
