Posted by guide on December 14, 1998 at 14:14:13: In Reply to: Fossil identification posted by Claire Milne on September 29, 1998 at 12:28:57: The following message was received from Goran Bogicevic a Rudist expert concerning the fossil in question: --------------------------- It definetely looks like a rudist. You probably didn't find it in rock, because I think he fell from that ridge that consist of red sedimentary rocks. In my graduate work (which was mostly consist in collectig rudists) all of them were found in a red limestone with some corals. They both (rudists and corals) are reef builders. If you find that these red rocks are from Cretaceous that give more chance in that "rudist theory". Of course for the precisely determination of specie this fossil had to be cut. Hope that this will help you Boggy p.s. If you did not You can see my rudists at http://www.freeyellow.com/members4/geologylinks/boggy.html ------------------------------- A link to Goran's Rudist Website is below Boggy's Rudist Page
