Description: The Cardinia shell fossil is a type of bivalve fossil commonly found in the geological strata of Yorkshire, England. Cardinia fossils are characterized by their robust, often heart-shaped shells with pronounced radial ribs and concentric growth lines. They are generally symmetrical and can vary in size. Cardinia fossils are typically found in rocks dating to the Jurassic period, specifically from the Lower Jurassic epoch. These bivalves lived in shallow marine environments, often in sandy or muddy substrates where they could burrow and filter-feed.
