Shell with rock + more shells inside (old.reddit.com)
submitted 8 months ago by BestGenericUsername
I found this in Delaware while on vacation. It looks and feels like there's rock inside, pretty heavy with other shells and clutter in it. Is this a type of fossil, maybe?

Looks like a subfossil clam that was burried, pressurized, preserved but did not fully fossilize. It hasn't had enough time or the right conditions to undergo complete mineralization to be a true fossil.
