Devonian Clam Modiomorpha concentrica
These pictures are of a Devonian Period clam called Modiomorpha concentrica (Conrad, 1838). It was found in Clark County, Indiana USA in the Jeffersonville Limestone. A coral is growing on part of the shell that is probably an Aulocystis.
This fossil belongs to my cousin who has been cleaning it.
