You never know what'll turn-up in the fields around here, yesterday I found this small 5 by 4 cm oyster on my early morning walk. I'm not sure if it's an actual Oyster, or a fossilised Oyster; it looks to be half and half.
In either case, what was it doing in a field sowed with Maize?
In the past I've found other fossilised bi-valves nearby; one of which was quite a large Clam-type crustacean. I suppose the whole area must have been below water at some time, so one shouldn't be too surprised to find such things.

Global warming of course was to blame.
Maybe it was someones lunch ?!!!! XXXX
Don't try eating it under any circumstances.
A little garlic and butter and you have lunch.
Crunchy maybe, but yes, lunch.
Can you bring it to Rachel's party?
Hope somebody can solve this puzzle, I'm intrigued
I'm very jealous of anyone who finds fossils just as they go about their daily business!
