tracer Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 actually that's an internal cast of a pelecypod (clam), of a type for which i'll remember (look up) the name in a moment... ahh, yes! it comes to me (hiding book behind back)...probably arctica genus.

lordpiney Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 i dont think it's a tooth. it looks like a bivalve steinkern (cast) to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tracer Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Lots of small tube worms in matrix. those probably should be serpulid tubes. you're probably looking somewhere in the lower cretaceous, marine environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
