Max-fossils Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Hi all, Anyone know what species/genus this bivalve steinkern is? It's from Rivière-sur-Tarn, a location in France that yields fossils from the Toarcian stage of the early Jurassic (approx 180 mya).

gigantoraptor Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Might be a digonella sp.? I'm not sure at all on this one. Edit: I think it might be pathollogical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigantoraptor Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 However, I wast just reading a book about fossils and there i saw a picture of a spiriferina sp. . This might be a better determination than digonella sp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludwigia Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Perhaps a Pholadomya? 1 Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abyssunder Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 No, it's not pathological. Comparative steinkerns are the below ones from Toarcian-Pliensbachian of Aveyron, France. 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.

Comparative steinkerns are the below ones from Toarcian-Pliensbachian of Aveyron, France. The odd "spongy" thing on mine is indeed just detritus, and I think it can be taken off with some prepping. Indeed no pathology on this one! if the genus of this one is indeed Pholadomya, then the species will be P. voltzii Link as it's the only Pholadomya of the Toarcian of France. Thanks everyone!
