Bill Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Hi Matthew, It's an ammonite (or goniatite, if it is Devonian). Goniatites and ammonites are cephalopods. See your other post Here KOF, Bill. Welcome to the forum, all new members www.ukfossils check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fossil_femme Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 As Bill pointed out, an ammonite is a cephalopod (although a cephalopod is not always an ammonite). Perhaps you meant to ask if it is an ammonite or a gastropod... since there is sometimes confusion between the two?
