Scallops. Who hasn't enjoyed a nice tasty plate of scallops at a nice restaurant? Maybe a nice Italian restaurant? Well, maybe again soon... once we get past this pandemic. For today, we have a scallop that wouldn't be too tasty and would probably break one of your teeth! It's a multiple Aviculopecten mazonensis from Braceville. These photos were contributed by ESCONI member Chris Berg. Thanks, and nice specimen, Chris! It has a ton of detail. I've seen multiple scallops in a concretion a few times, but those were from Chowder Flatts. Scallops are found at Braceville, but they are fairly rare in that locality.
For more information, have a look at our Mazon Monday post about scallops from a few months ago.
