| This is a partial specimen of Titanosarcolites, a rudist that reached about 20 inches (over a half a meter); rudists could be as much as 6 feet (2 meters) tall!. This specimen has been cut in half and polished to show circular canals in the shell that are thought to have harbored photosynthetic algae. |
