Rastellum – Fossil Comb Oyster from Madagascar
Rastellum fossils from the Cretaceous Period—true prehistoric treasures for your collection! The fossilized comb oyster Rastellum lived in shallow coastal waters about 80 million years ago. Its unusual zigzag shape and distinctive ribs and grooves make every fossil an interesting collector’s item.
Rastellum – fossilized mussel with a unique shell structure
The zigzag-shaped edges of the shell are particularly characteristic of the Rastellum comb oyster. The two valves originally fit together perfectly, protecting the oyster from sand and debris.
These fossil oysters lived in shallow, tidal coastal waters. Like modern oysters, they fed on plankton, which they filtered from the seawater, especially during high tide.
