@Bill-Heim, @Nathan-Newell, and @Delwin-Glasner would probably be able to give you some advice. They’re photo pros.

Did you retake the pictures because the lighting looks ok to me?

@hunter-thurmond Hi, Hunter! Flash can wash out some of the details of fossils, so I use directional lighting. I don’t do anything too fancy, though; I just don’t have the time or money to create an elaborate studio. Here’s my set-up:

Hi, @Hunter-Thurmond! Do you have any photos with better lighting? Also, @Katie-Collins-2, can you confirm this ID? Thank you both!

It’s definitely a Plicatula! Nice specimen, @hunter-Thurmond 🙂 One further photography tip: bivalves are usually illustrated with the hinge at the top (i.e. 180 degrees to how you have your first and third photos here), and it helps to compare to published illustrations for ID checking if everything is the same way up.
