    • That means there's a chance that the larger one is an Acrocoelites, especially A. trisulculosus from the Mulgrave Shale Member (Jet Rock) above the Grey Shales. It would ideally show three apical furrows while Passaloteuthis has only two. The third (ventral) one can be faint though. The Jet Rock is a lot harder and darker too.
    • Thanks for the lead, I will read up on this! It was found between Runswick and Kettleness, past the tenuicostatum area, if that makes a difference on the possible strata.

      I don't remember exactly where the smaller one was from, but all of our collecting happened between Port Mulgrave and Kettleness or Saltwick Bay.
    • Prettiest gastropod species in Whiskey Bridge imo
    • Same here.  I don't even know how to start ID'ing these, as I have no idea what layers they eroded out of.  Guess it'll stay a mystery unless one of us stumbles upon an ID
    • As you know, I have some just like this in the Peace River,  but do not know the name of the urchin...
    • I love these ... We do not have them in Florida...and to have one made of rock... nice
    • Thank you for your reply! 
    • Hi, The top one is probably Passaloteuthis bisulcata, from the Grey Shale Member. The rocks at Runswick are too high up for P.turris.  Not sure about bottom left, Par. zieteni is certainly a possibility depending on where it came from.
    • I used epoxy putty to fill the gap, not for aestethics but to prevent the root lobe from coming off. Actually it was pretty messy and it took me a lot of time to fill the gap completely (though it is solid now so I am satisfied).
       
      I also thought that UV-setting dental polymer could be very useful for fossil restoration, but I didn`t try yet.
