@don-clements Amazing, thank you!!

I think I spent 3-4 hours that day. I was really excited to find these bivalves since I hadn’t found any previously on the island. The island never fails to excite!

@sadie-mills I’ve been to Keg Island once for exploring but I’ll definitely have to go back to fossil hunt! What kind of specimens did you find on Keg?

@bianca-clemmons did you find that fish as is or did you break open the rock? I’ve never been able to find something like that

@samantha-ocon there are 3 pictures that have similar organisms

I think you’re right. Would you be willing to view this article I found pertaining to 3 similar organisms? Latypov, YuriYa.. “A Solitary Deep-Water Corals of the Scleractinian of the Vietnamese Shelf.” American Journal of Zoological Research 2.1 (2014): 5-15.

@mackenzie-ross-2 I guess my penny isn’t cutting it for scale 😅 but type of measurement device would you recommend as far as cm, mm, in, etc or am I thinking too hard about this

@mackenzie-ross-2@samantha-ocon I left all my fossils in Wilmington 🤦🏻‍♀️ but when I go back sometime next month I will take more images and redo some images.

@samantha-ocon thank you! I will try to classify it further a little later today

It is multiple specimens. I don’t have the specimens with me but whenever I’m back in Wilmington I’ll upload them individually! Do you happen to know what they are @mackenzie-ross-2

Awesome specimen!

@samantha-ocon@matthew-gramling When I looked at the map I was thinking Comfort as well. The island is situated in the cape fear river near the ‘H’ in New Hanover. There were many gastropod ‘unicorn horns’ on the island as well and that’s also where I found my sea biscuit fossils

@santino-diaz can’t wait to see it. What part of the country did you find it in?

Thank you all, I have updated the classification

@colefossilfinder-blitz If you go to the island I can’t wait to see what you find!

Under geological context would I put “Comfort Member” or in Member put “Comfort”. Please bear with me, I’m pretty new at this. Thanks!

I looked at the map and I found [all my fossils] in New Hanover county. Specifically where the “H” is in Hanover on the cape fear river. The light orange looks like this might be in the “Comfort Member” – whatever that is.
