Paul R. Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 I don't know what kind of fossil it is (sea shell?) but i was able to make the image more clear for others to see. Do you have location and/or age information on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FossilMick Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Looks like it could be Orthoceras ("straight horn") a genus of extinct nautiloid cephalopod. Not my forte, but looks similar to pictures I have seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
