Mark Kmiecik Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 I appears to be be what you stated in the tabs. What's the question? Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossildude19 Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Looks like an orthocone nautiloid/cephalopod to me.

FossilDAWG Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Without information about the source geology or age, any guess is going to be low confidence. That being said, the relatively large straight siphuncle, in proportion to the size of the chambers (camerae) suggests an endocerid nautiloid such as Endoceras. This was a widespread genus in the Ordovician. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Members sbennett Posted July 18 Author New Members Share Posted July 18 Unfortunately i know nothing of where this was found. I found it in my grandfathers house while cleaning it out after he passed. He did live on the banks of the vermillion river near the mississipi river in Minnesota but thats all.
