Found these 2 bivalve shells in Holden Beach, NC last week. They were part of a large washup of shells, presumably due to a tropical depression in the Atlantic Ocean. I found 2 shells. The inside of the first is completely filled with cemented sand and is a bit larger than the second. The second shell does have a small portion of the inside visible. (Note measurements are in inches).

  • Fossildude19 changed the title to Bivalves? Holden Beach NC.

Those are Exogyra costata from the Late Cretaceous Peedee Formation.
