4 years, 8 months ago4 years, 8 months agoHi, @kimberly-huber – It’s really hard to tell from this image what this fossil could be. Do you have another image?

6 years, 10 months ago6 years, 10 months agoHi Kimberly @kimberly-huber – Will you show a photo of the other side and an end shot of this? That might help us out some, and make the photos a little bigger if you can. THANKS! George

6 years, 10 months ago6 years, 10 months ago@kimberly-huber, @egardner It may be a pecten fragment although the photo gives me the impression it may be a thicker shell of some other ridged type. You might try asking @cferrara or @lcone. These guys are more in tune with these more recent shells.
