Invertebrate FOSSILS OF NJ

The Bivalves

The number of different species of Pelecypods identified in NJ numbers well over 1000. Except for the oysters and brachiopods I will limit the presentation and identification of the bivalves we have collected to a series of photo galleries on multiple pages.
All specimens are from Cretaceous locations unless otherwise noted.
