Found this fossil in a large wash-out (arroyo) outside of Radium Springs, NM. Close-up shows segmented compartments in "tail". At least, that's what I think. 

Possibly something else? Side view shows where the object begins to flute/enlarge.

Comments appreciated.20240514_134616.thumb.png.a2d0505d031a861e8e1964fc92ebce3f.png

Possibly a nautiloid or Goniatie?
Pictures are pretty blurry, but Nautiloids have these types of chambers.

Preservation is poor, as well.  :unsure:

 

 

Cropped, and contrasted:

Thank You! Sorry for the quality of the photos. May have had dirt on the lens.
