Ludwigia Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Yes it is a fossil. By the looks of it, you've got a Gryphaea bivalve from the lower Jurassic there. Might be G.arcuata Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludwigia Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Yes, it's extremely common. In one layer in Germany they are so abundant that they build stone. Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
