Auspex Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 I don't know enough to help with the ID, but I like the fossil. Looks like there's a brachiopod or two in it also.

Guest Nicholas Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 The two shells at the top and the one at the left seem to be Brachiopods, the one in the middle I think is a pelecypod and I am unsure of the shell at the right. That is as far as I can take you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommabetts Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Don't know for sure what they are but it is a nice find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tracer Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 nothing from that age near me so won't venture guesses but the specimen is cool with a variety of bivalves and good preservation, so you might want to hunt that area some more. who knows what you'll find...
