Fossil bivalve that has been replaced with pink Rhodochrosite. The old iron mine where these were found is long closed and these are no longer being found. This is an excellent example with an uncompressed fossil with the bottom half still in matrix and the top half exposed and partially open to reveal the botryoidal pink interior.
