Balanus concavus on Chesapecten - Maryland
Balanus concavus on Chesapecten - Maryland
Location: Choptank Formation, Calvert Cliffs, Maryland, USA
This fossil shell that has fossil barnacles attached is one of the more complete pieces that we have personally collected at Calvert Cliffs. If you wanted to you could clean off more of the matrix that is lightly attached. I left it on as a lot of people don’t realize that these are actually fossils.
Early - Middle Miocene
Size: 2.65 x 2.65 x 0.45 inches
