Thank you for helping me find out what they are. 8) I found a spot that I can find as many as I want. Should I go get them?

No way. A fish tank with them as the bottom gravel with native ky fish would be cool and is an option. 8)

Just a hint, look for something resembling a tooth next time you are digging the shell fossils. A 'Mississippian' sharks tooth was found in KY and brought $600, it was an inch long (I think). If you like fossils and such check this place out, the store is right around the corner from me (literally) and would give you an excuse to visit FL
