"Denture Clam," "Razor Oyster," Rastellum Carinatum

Inoceramus Clam Mold
These clams get quite large, but the outer shell is rarely preserved due the thin shell becoming easily destroyed over time. This leaves the inner mold. I found this clam in the Duck Creek Formation along a feeder creek into Benbrook Lake.
SOLD
NOT FOR SALE: Amphidonte Walkeri, FW Formation clam
This sizable clam exceeds 4 inches in length, and I have only found 2 over the last year or so. I have one available for sale but it is not listed anywhere and I haven't prepared it yet. The one shown is in my personal collection as of now. I'm open to offers, but it's rarely found so I am not sure if I'm willing to give it up absent more supply.
Heteraster Sp. Echinoids
Set of three prepared by myself using an air abrasive tool. Amazing detail on these little fossils. These are from the Goodland Formation near Downtown Fort Worth along the Trinity River. This trio features almost no visible blemishes. Very distinct markings on top and signature wide trough down the backside characteristic of heteraster echinoids.
