My mom and dad found this while visiting my grandma many years ago in Alaska. I was told it was found on or near the beach, but I am not sure of the exact location. I really want to be able to identify this and have run out of ideas on how to. I am unsure of the exact type of bivalve this is. I have researched extensively and found nothing quite like it. Please help. Any information is greatly appreciated.
Fossil Collector: StacyN
Location: Alaska
Any Alaskan fossil collectors out there? If you can you help StacyN ID her fossil find, please leave a response.
I also wanted to let you know that this fossil is about 7 1/2″ by 3 1/2″. Not sure if that helps at all
That is always helpful. Thank you!
Hard to tell with just one view but it looks very much like an unerupted mammoth tooth that I have.
Thanks Carol, When you look from other angles it definetly looks like some kind of bivalve, just not sure what kind:)
look like Inoceramus Sp.
