ROCK PILE REVISIT #2

[Raysun]

Looks like it was a very busy environment. Hoping someone can help make sense of it. Measurements are approximately 4.3 inches in length and 3.4 inches in width and around 2 inches at it's tallest point.

Yes. Bivalve bits. Only someone familiar with the local fauna could hazard a guess as to at least the genera. I'm afraid I don't belong to that category. A more precise location and the stratigraphy if known would certainly help, since the sediments in that county go from the Precambrian through to the Quarternary.

The area it was found is near the Black Range Mountains in Grant County New Mexico, I'm sorry I can't be more specific.

Well,  do take it with a grain of salt.  

That information is VERY old (100+ years, in some cases!) and no longer accurate, due to time marching on.
