Protocardia dissimilis bivalve fossils

These are interesting little fossils - smooth Bivalve fossil shells, with a striking resemblance to modern day shells - they are similar to modern day Brachiopods and Bivalves.

These pieces all come from Tisbury, Wiltshire and date to the Jurassic period. They are internal casts, rather than the actual shell itself, although in some cases they do have small areas of the shell itself.

They are reasonably large shells, measuring around 50MM long and 35MM tall.

These make a great gift for kids, and fossil collectors - they're also relatively inexpensive. Because everyone can relate to a shell, they are quite a nice visual display aid for children to learn with.
