Caritodens Clam Fossils

The following pictures show Ordovician period clams called Caritodens demissa (Conrad, 1842). These clams were found in eastern Jefferson County, Kentucky (just outside of Louisville, Kentucky). They are probably from the Grant Lake Formation. The growth lines remind me of a contour map. Learn more about this pelecypod fossil at one of my other postings.
