Back in the Cretaceous, these shallow reefs were dominated by a very, very weird bivalve that’s called a rudist bivalve.
Okay. Now we would just strike it rich if we saw some rudist clams.
Interesting structure.
These certainly are different from what we’ve been seeing, Patty.
Chris, I think you called it.�Oh wow.
That looks definitely fossiliferous.
Oh boy. You are so right. Look at the ribbing on this. That’s definitely a bivalve shell.
Yeah, you can see the actual flute. Yeah, all you fossil hunters at home, I hope you’re enjoying this.
That looks a lot like the pictures of rudists I’ve seen, but…
I’m agreeing with you, Patty, you know, because there are different forms and they can have these sort of spiral forms, too.
