aplomado Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 My father found this shell... Not a rare specimen, but it has another shell stuck to the bottom, giving it a perfect natural display stand! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abyssunder Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 (edited) That's a very nice oyster! I think is Exogyra costata. https://www.google.com/search?q=exogyra&biw=1360&bih=612&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwju2r3r0dvJAhVFjg8KHev5CigQ_AUIBigB#tbm=isch&q=exogyra+costata&imgrc=_ Edited December 14, 2015 by abyssunder 1 " We are not separate and independent entities, but like links in a chain, and we could not by any means be what we are without those who went before us and showed us the way.

minnbuckeye Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 As my fossil collection grows, I find my favorites are not the uncommon specimens most people strive for, but are ordinary fossils presented in unique ways. I fell in love with yours as soon as I saw it. Thanks for giving us the opportunity to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
