There’s a whole bunch of spots in Clallam County that have exposed fossilized shells, some other cool shit as well

Washington has some beautiful stuff.

This sure looks like the Liracassis from the Fossil Forum link. What a cool find, OP!

I stop by Murdoch Beach aka Fossil Beach, on occasion, when I'm out in the west end. It's become more well known now that State Parks has taken over management of it. But there are still some nice finds.

I found this about 20 miles east of Neah Bay, Washington. It was partially embedded in a clay bank with other marine fossils. Most of those weren't as fossilized as this one. It's difficult to see in the images, but the surface is very shiny, almost like a polished agate.
