Caleb Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I believe that is a Charactoceras laddi, it's one of the more unusual and harder to find cephalopods out of the Maquoketa Formation. Here is a small but well preserved specimen. Caleb Midwestpaleo.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
