I found this fossil on the beach in Makarska (Croatia) (about 2-3 years ago), but I don’t know which fossil this is. Could you answer this?
Asker: Vid, 14 years old
Answer
Dear Vid
This is a fossil or relatively recent shell of a bivalve (Bivalvia). With some good will you can still recognize the shape of a Pecten shell (or something similar), but due to wear and tear in the surf at the beach, the edges of the shell have completely disappeared.
