Thumbnail of Arcinella arcinella, FIC1311Arcinella arcinella, FIC1311Single isolated right valve of a jewelbox clam. The shell has at approximately five low radial ribs that are spinous (though many spines are broken off). Frilled growth layers are prominent and fine radial costae are present between the ribs. Matrix obscures the beak and teeth.Tuomey, Michael, 1805-18571805Darlington District, South Carolina, United States
Thumbnail of Cymatosyrinx lunata, FIC1303Cymatosyrinx lunata, FIC1303Heavily ornamented, isolated snail shell. Shell is high spired and drill shaped with a flattened area just below the suture before the whorl becomes inflated. Each whorl is sculptured with twelve strong oblique axial ribs. The aperture is ovate to D-shaped with a short, but distinct siphonal canal. The outer lip of the aperture is broken in this specimen however a large callus is present at the inner lip.Tuomey, Michael, 1805-18571805Waccamaw River , Horry County, South Carolina, United States
Thumbnail of Ancillaria altile, FIC1293Ancillaria altile, FIC1293Three isolated gastropod shells in fair to poor condition. All exhibit a compressed spire, an inflated shoulder on the body whorl, an ovate aperture, and a conspicuously large callous on the inner lip. External morphology is uncertain due to preservation, however faint growth lines are present on the largest shell, while small paired ribs are apparent on the smallest.Tuomey, Michael, 1805-1857; Brumby, Richard Trapier, 1804-1875; Tuomey, Michael, 1805-18571805Claiborne, Monroe County, Alabama, United States
Thumbnail of Ensis directus, FIC1313Ensis directus, FIC1313Isolated partial valve of the razor clam. The shell is broken laterally, so the preserved portion is the beak and umbo of the left valve.Tuomey, Michael, 1805-18571805Darlington District, South Carolina, United States
Thumbnail of Carditidae (indeterminate), FIC1295Carditidae (indeterminate), FIC1295Large external cast of the clam preserved as a dark gray sandy mold of the outer shell ornamentation. Characterized by stout ribs that flare at the outer margin. Small ostreid casts are also present.Tuomey, Michael, 1805-18571805South Carolina, United States
Thumbnail of Anomia argentaria, FIC1318Anomia argentaria, FIC1318Isolated valve of a marine clam. The shell is very thin and nearly circular. The broken margin exhibits bright silver luster referenced in the species name. Exterior morphology is marked by very fine concentric striae.Tuomey, Michael, 1805-18571805South Carolina, United States
Thumbnail of Architectonica nobilis, FIC1296Architectonica nobilis, FIC1296Isolated marine snail shell with a low spired, trochoid, conispiral shell that is heavily ornamented with four beaded ribs in the first five whorls, then four ribs with growth lines in the body whorl.Tuomey, Michael, 1805-18571805Darlington District, Darlington, Darlington County, South Carolina, United States
