Here's a nice specimen of the hippuritid (rudist) genus Hippurites from the Upper Cretaceous of France. Notice how one of the valves is modified into a thick tube that continues to grow non-stop. This specimen showcases the characteristic three foldings that typically identify rudists. This specimen, ULg PA 35503, is part of the collections of Fossil Animals at the Université de Liège http://eddylab.weebly.com/collections.html
