Hippurites, a Cretaceous rudist

Hippurites, a Cretaceous rudist

sketchfab

I'm a nice specimen of the hippuritid (rudist) genus Hippurites from the Upper Cretaceous of France. Look how the valves are modified into a thick tube and a cap protecting the animal when in danger. This specimen shows the typical three involutions that often diagnose rudists. This specimen is housed in the collections of Fossil Animals at the Université de Liège http://eddylab.weebly.com/collections.html
