Auspex Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 It would be very helpful (in the name of precision and accuracy) to know the geologic age from whence they came.

aminofsqui Posted July 1, 2014 Author Share Posted July 1, 2014 Sorry I collected these fossils when I was young. The only information I can provide is that they are from Tunisia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herb Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 1 is some kind of Pectin 2 and 3 look like operculms the rest look like oyster fragments "Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence"_ Carl Sagen No trees were killed in this posting......however, many innocent electrons were diverted from where they originally intended to go.

Auspex Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 #2 may be an oyster valve; I think I see a muscle scar. What does the other side look like?

Auspex Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Thank you. Yes, I think it is an oyster.

Herb Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I agree with Auspex on #2 as oyster shell, and probably #3 also. I was thinking of something else when I said operculum and didn't look at the scale.
