This is a very collectible fossil. It is a complete Chesapecten nefrens from the famous Calvert Area of Maryland. This type of bivalve is a scallop, as seen by the shape of the shell. This huge specimen has both halves of the shell intact and fossilized together. The top side of the scallop has three large barnacles preserved on it - it is quite uncommon to have the barnacles still intact. The back side shell also displays beautifully. This is a textbook example of classic fossil symbiosis from the Chesapeake Bay region.
