  • Ron's fossil may be the trace of a trilobite left in mud, but that is a guess at best.. It looks sort of like the 'book' gills of a horseshoe crab, but that is extremely unlikely. ...Allen A.

  • Probably a pteriomorph bivalve with strong concentric sculpture, such as an inoceramid. ...Dr. David C.

  • Ron's bivalve belongs in Inoceramidae. It could well be Jurassic Retroceramus. ... Andrew G.
