Description: | Two fossil bivalve specimens idenified as Modiolopsis orbicularis. The smooth specimens are dark brown in colour with clear growth lines facing opposite directions in the matrix. The matrix is a pale grey, fine grained mud with small shelly fragments and an area of white material near the unlabelled valve. Around the side of the valves the matrix has been oxidised to a brown colour. The valves are fractured around the beak and one is incomplete. CB 14/04/2010
