Rob Russell Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Sorry I can't offer you an ID rocks anne, but it looks cephalopodish to me. Finding my way through life; one fossil at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GerryK Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 (edited) It is a nautiloid. It looks like Spyroceras nuntium. Edited May 11, 2012 by GerryK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave in Alaska Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 do the ridges spiral? It kind of looks like they do, but I may be half a bubble off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piranha Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I'd have to agree with Gerry's call on Spyroceras. Attached is an indeterminate cephalopod genus from Linsley: Devonian Paleontology of New York. Also included for comparison are various Hydnoceras that exhibit the characteristic node clusters absent in the posted specimen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
