Neomegalodon
Big and heavy
This large bivalve mollusc ruled the mud flats of the largest Triassic carbonate platform, for good reason called Dolomia Principale (Main Dolomite), stretched throughout the Dolomites and over a good part of the western Tethys. The dolomitization process almost always dissolved its thick shell, leaving only the sediment that filled the shell itself.
