Chesapecten Jeffersonius


Chesapecten jeffersonius? I think so. If so, then Wikipedia says that it is "the fossilized form of an extinct scallop, which lived in the early Pliocene epoch between four and five million years ago on Virginia's coastal plain."

    Tiene mucho mérito por la gran antigüedad que tiene. Es una pieza de museo.
    Me ha gustado mucho la imagen de cabecera.
    Un abrazo.

    Interesting. I wonder if it was named for Thomas Jefferson. He collected a huge number of items.
