Hey guys,
Sorry it has been awhile. I had tests in both my quantum physics class as well as my chemistry class to keep me busy.
Since last posting, I spoke with my professor about what you said, Kevin. He told me that you are right, the suture marks are not visible and so the species cannot be determined. He said that the genus should be able to be determined though.
Also, I still need help finding any research on their orientation when they die or are deposited in the sediment. This sample died on its edge. Another question that was asked, is what happened to the other half of the shell?
Thank you again so much for your help!
Andrew
