Guest N.AL.hunter Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Yep, what Nick said. Or could it be the elusive fossilized Ice cream cone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain badlands Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Yep, what Nick said. Or could it be the elusive fossilized Ice cream cone? That's ridiculous.... clearly it is a fossilized unicorn horn, from a juvenile specimen... - to be able to lead, you must first refuse to follow - is that a rock hammer in your pocket, or are you just that happy to see me? - where are all the unicorn fossils? that stupid troll lied to me!

silverphoenix Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 belemite? nah..looks segmented...perhaps a type of early uncoiled ammonite? Where did it come from and do you know the age? Fossilized sea shell would be an over-all description I'd give of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coco Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Hi, I think it can be a belemnit phragmocone.

Frank Menser Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 I dunno, it looks more to me like some kind of horn or armor spike. look at the flaring out at the base with what looks like root material beneath kind of like this deer antler: Be true to the reality you create.

Guest N.AL.hunter Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Belimnites do not have septa, so it is not one of those. It is a nautiloid of some sort. Similar to an orthoceras. But it is a nautiloid/cephalopod/amonite of some sort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

non-remanié Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 I'm with Coco, belemnite phragmocone "plug" was my first thought. Hi,I think it can be a belemnit phragmocone.
