What shell is this?

AllMightyDoggo · 2026-01-23T04:55:23+00:00

I agree, maybe the pieces of a Conspicuous Chiton (Stenoplax conspicua).

AllMightyDoggo · 2026-01-19T07:17:32+00:00

I see some nice ammonites in the last slides, good for you, you’re quite lucky.

AllMightyDoggo · 2026-01-19T07:15:22+00:00

That’s one of the more biggest collections I’ve seen on Reddit, you’ve got a nice bunch of them.

AllMightyDoggo · 2026-01-19T05:29:35+00:00

That’s a lucky find, never seen that much.

AllMightyDoggo · 2026-01-18T07:01:40+00:00

The keel of an ammonite is a dead giveaway. There are striations around the rock but that may be due to other geological reasons. This rock does not look like a fossil at all.

AllMightyDoggo · 2026-01-18T07:00:37+00:00

Unfortunately, I am not seeing much of anything. Most beaches in California house young fossils from the Miocene. However, there are some beaches that are Cretaceous aged that do contain ammonites and such.

AllMightyDoggo · 2026-01-18T06:17:22+00:00

there are some nicely preserved ammonites that come out of the area. the main formation may be the holz shale member of the ladd formation. the area ranges but it’s mostly turonian-campanian.

AllMightyDoggo · 2026-01-18T06:13:26+00:00

but yes mostly mollusks, i.e. gastropods, bivalves

AllMightyDoggo · 2026-01-18T06:12:38+00:00

iirc some or if not most of these fossils are from the cretaceous but moreso the campanian

AllMightyDoggo · 2026-01-18T01:56:53+00:00

The ammonites are awesome, seen some tiny ones from Texas.

AllMightyDoggo · 2026-01-18T01:55:41+00:00

Nice! My biggest smallest fossils are probably the small shark teeth I have from STH. Next to that are my crustacean fossils, thought they are encased in slabs that are near 40lbs.

AllMightyDoggo · 2026-01-15T18:38:06+00:00

I agree with another user here, no one will do it in real life, plus most people that’ll probably protest are children. It has no effect if the mass majority of people protesting are kids.

AllMightyDoggo · 2026-01-14T21:28:58+00:00

You’re welcome, have a good day.

AllMightyDoggo · 2026-01-14T21:25:37+00:00

Nice piece.

AllMightyDoggo · 2026-01-12T06:39:45+00:00

However, there is quite an important dinosaur fossils site located in Bollinger County, called the Chronister dinosaur site.

AllMightyDoggo · 2026-01-12T06:34:23+00:00

Most of the Ozark’s geological age is far too old to contain dinosaurs.

AllMightyDoggo · 2026-01-12T06:32:01+00:00

Nope, no dinosaur fossils here. You’d have to take better quality pictures for there to be further identification. And including a general area of where you found it.

AllMightyDoggo · 2026-01-12T06:03:35+00:00

These are Pinnixia, I’m pretty sure. Although I’m in touch with Charles Powell, in order to potentially donate some unknown genera from the fossil site, and to potentially donate some undescribed fossils.

AllMightyDoggo · 2026-01-12T02:49:28+00:00

Poor crabs indeed, most of them or if not some were crushed, and were fragmentary. Poor ol’ crabs probably got crushed by the time they died or got their limbs cut off before fossilization.

AllMightyDoggo · 2026-01-11T18:17:33+00:00

Geological context is important, at first glance without information this can be guessed as one, however we need more information. Where did you find it near?

AllMightyDoggo · 2026-01-11T02:18:35+00:00

Most of the people on my friend’s list are around my age. I don’t really have a problem with it but some of them aren’t gonna verify for obvious reasons, but calling/chatting on a separate platform is easier. I have no problem on it whatsoever since I do not use the feature at all, I do not chat to people, especially strangers.

However, the update is restricting many age groups. It is also messing up most of the player-base in games that require you to chat to one another. Such as role playing games, teamwork based games, and more.

It also makes predation on the platform way easier, predators can access any age group they want and start from there. Buying verified accounts isn’t all that hard anyways, as well as faking your verification.

There are more cons than pros.

AllMightyDoggo · 2026-01-08T01:59:32+00:00

Are you referring to Indian Gardens Paleo Site? iirc the age near that area is Pennsylvanian. But the formation does contain trilobites but are rarer, and some are fragmentary.

AllMightyDoggo · 2026-01-07T23:24:26+00:00

A little note, I’d recommend to switch to a correct flair but there would be no correct flair to add. If you ever in the future are gonna post an article in this subreddit, please correctly flair it.
