6 years, 8 months ago6 years, 8 months agoHi Jim @jim-chandler. Thank you for your response. It could be Dendostrea frons, but the ribs on the one I found originate at the hinge of the shell and from what I can see in the frons they originate more from a center line of the shell.

6 years, 8 months ago6 years, 8 months agoEleanor Gardner @egardner Okay….doesn’t appear to be any interest in this fossil. I have been doing a lot of internet investigation and have determined the following. Definitely Ostreidae Lopha and even though the most similar example I can find is the marshii, this is only found in Europe. The only Lopha I can see that was located in Sou…[Read more]

6 years, 8 months ago6 years, 8 months agoFound this yesterday a Myrtle Beach. Complete both sides, cleaned the matrix from it. My best guess is Lopha marshii, but I can’t find any info on them being on the southern east coast. Any help with identification and age is greatly appreciated. Thanks….Lance

6 years, 8 months ago6 years, 8 months agoRecently picked this piece up on Myrtle Beach SC. It appears to be a chambered sponge, possibly in Sphinctozoa. I have attached close up pics of the Horizontal septa between the chambers and another of what I believe to be the spicules. Greatly appreciate help on identification. Thanks….Lance

6 years, 8 months ago6 years, 8 months ago@jkallmeyer@lmccall@jim-chandler With your help I believe I have figured this one out. I believe it is a fossil Tilly Bone (Hyperostosic Bone) from a large bony fish. What do you think. Here is a magnified picture from http://lakeneosho.org/Fossil/index.html, which looks very similar to mine. Thanks….Lance
