New Members PaulNStubbs Posted March 2, 2013 New Members Share Posted March 2, 2013 (edited) Hey guys I found this fossil laying on the ground in central florida in a area with other rocks. I don't know much about it but I do have a picture and it looks to me like there are some bone fragments and a shell in it. Please give me your input guys it's greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Auspex Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I can't find anything definitively Paleozoic in that piece....doesn't mean it's not, and doesn't mean it didn't come from someplace else in either case; just means there isn't much here to go on.

Missourian Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 If it's from Florida, then that shell could be a scallop. Context is critical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Members PaulNStubbs Posted March 2, 2013 Author New Members Share Posted March 2, 2013 Thanks for the responses! I'm still looking things up online, and I can't seem to find anything that looks just like it. I don't know much about fossils, etc...so I really appreciate it.

Herb Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 No Paleozoic brachiopods in Florida, probably middle Cenozoic (Eocene-Miocene -Oligocene)pelecypod fragments.
