Xiphactinus Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 This is a fossil I found while collecting in upstate New York. It measures about 7/8" at its widest. Can anyone tell me what it is? it's the internal mold of a brachiopod shell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest solius symbiosus Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 ^Yep, that is the hinge line, and it looks like part of the spondylium has been preserved 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Members seacreatio Posted February 23, 2008 Author New Members Share Posted February 23, 2008 Thanks for the identification. I thought it had some of the characteristics of a shellfish of some variety. The three symmetrical petals really had me stumped, I hadn't seen a parting rift along the hinge before this. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
