matthew textor Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Hi everyone I have this shell fossil I found that I can't ID does anyone know what it is??

abyssunder Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I would exclude crinoid and coral, but clam would be a good guess for the two larger, close together ones. Geological time and location of the find might help in the ID.

Fossildude19 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Nice find, Matt. It looks like it might be a Modiomorpha sp. maybe Modiomorpha mytiloides.

abyssunder Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Yup! If I try to see them side by side, there is a good resemblance. link to source 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.

ynot Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Everyone seems focused on the clam, but did You notice the brachiopods in there also? Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."
