Fossil or ?

[John CA]

Found this a while back, it looks like sandstone with shells. Fossil or man made? Hopefully this pic works, first time posting a picture.

Fossils.? The matrix looks like limestone.? I see bivalves (clams) and possibly a brachiopod or two.? Nice specimen!

Yep- clams or pelecypods. They look recent in age too.
We needed this photo. After Nana posts a weathered fossil mystery that Richard and I are clueless about we needed an easy one to reassure Treasurenet viewers that we know fossils.-ha ha

You're too modest George. I think you pegged a couple of Nana's mystery fossils as cross-sections of gastropods.

looks like a piece of asphalt that has rolled around in the ocean for a while, at least here on the east coast they use seashells for filler in road construction...but I could be wrong

If it is limestone (which it could very well be), it is 'fossiliferous limestone'. I have one, but no pic.
