    Hi, @mackenzie-peil, this specimen is really fragmented so I’m afraid I won’t be able to help much with ID. We can update Phylum Mollusca > Class Bivalvia in your classification though!
    Talk to you soon, Jen

    Hi, @mackenzie-peil – Do you have another photo of the inside area of this clam? I’ve found a few species that look similar – so maybe it’s in one of those genera??
    Vokesula: https://neogeneatlas.net/species/vokesula-chowanensis/
    Globivenus: https://neogeneatlas.net/species/globivenus-rigida/

    I think it looks most similar to Vokesula.

    Hi @mackenzie-peil , the Lee Creek Mine is actually the name of the locality not the name of the formation. We don’t know the formation for the Aurora matrix, but we know that it is part of the Chesapeake Group. Also, the two fossils you’ve identified as brachiopods are actually clams. The scientific name is the class Bivalvia.

    @mackenzie-peil – Do you have any information on where these objects were found?  (location, geologic formation, etc)  @taorminalepore is a coprolite specialist, so perhaps she could give her opinion about the first image.

    @mackenzie-peil  My only guess on the blobby looking one is a coprolite.  No idea on the other one.
