FossilDAWG Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 They are belemnites, not "Orthoceras". To be more precise, they are partial belemnites showing the tip of the guard but lacking the end with the phragmocone. As such, they lack the diagnostic characters needed to identify them confidently to genus and species. Don 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or more expensive? Brought them from a Polish fossil seller on e-bay 1 week ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herb Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 seems high to me, there are areas where you can fill buckets with Belemnites.

RJB Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Some places here they are quite common. A place in Wyoming where you cant help but to walk on them cause there are so many. sorry RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrangellian Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 The ammonites help make it not such a bad purchase, unless shipping was extra, though I would have probably not done it, myself, even if the shipping was included in the $35. Sellers don't always know the proper information about what they are selling. Did he provide locality information for any of these? Accurate location info helps make a fossil more valuable, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
