GeschWhat Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 I'm just guessing, but concretion with shell fragments? Lori www.areallycrappystory.com/fossils www.facebook.com/fossilpoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miocene_Mason Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 More plant material, I have a piece like it but I’m not at home right now so I cannot take a picture. “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially so, probably some wood or loose wood cortex. 1 “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plax Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 looks like a clam to me. The Maryland Cretaceous books are available as pdf and may have pics to help with this. It's a huge multi volume set and near impossible to get in print. This is Potomac Group so early cretaceous freshwater sediment. There's an Unio listed. https://archive.org/details/lowercretaceous00mary 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plax Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 that pic is interesting. Freshwater steinkern I'd say with worm borings in the mud/shell interface (the shell is gone). Yours looks more like a pseudomorph or shell replacement but you can see the steinkern inside on the first pic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be any unionidae, but it's the first image under freshwater clam in a web search and what looking at the specimen feels like. There is a gap between the remains of the shell and core, where I feel if I tried to remove the matrix, this is what I would end up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plax Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 I have all of the Maryland books (Cretaceous, Eocene, Miocene) in paper from the pre-web days. An amazing lot of literature that provided me many hours of entertainment. All of you Maryland collectors should get the pdfs or paper if available. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard copies can be expensive, though used Amazon books have some prices I can't believe too. Seems like some people are getting out while the getting is good. I personally prefer to have a paper copy to look at. Are there specific titles I should look for? Thanks for the heads up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When looking for books, try Abesbooks and/or Betterworldbooks. I've had really good luck picking up nice used books at a really good price.

KimTexan Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Try using this link. http://used.addall.com/ It pulls up pretty much any book seller on the web with that specific book for sale. You can sort by price. Personally I think Amazon does about the same thing. I like having a hard copy too, but I will settle for digital material when needed. I use archive.org the most. It’s got more stuff than Google books, 17 million titles last I checked, but I think it’s all free. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
