These were found in Western Alabama in the Demopolis Chalk. They appear to be locally common. they are very delicate and hard to find intact. Hoping to put a name to the face and organize my collection.

Hello all! Recently I have been obsessed with cephalopods and realized there is a real lack of reconstructions of the color patterns on extinct nautiloids and ammonites! This led me to compile a list of known fossil color patterns on cephalopods. After a year of on and off research, I found about 90 species of cephalopods retaining official or undescribed, original patterning on their shells. These are the first 15 species on my list. The color markings are based both on descriptions and photographs of the fossil material. The shades of the markings are based on the fossils, but also inferred. I Hope you will appreciate my work!

When the breakup comes do you curse the Universe, forsake God, get a drink?

This is the last image of the beautiful little Mollusk. I had been working on this 4mm specimen for about an hour and a half. All you could see at the start was a bit of white. Dental tools and small paint brushes, being every so careful. As you view the image the still covered left half of the shell was about 1/2 the length of the right half of the shell. I finally got the left half uncovered and it was a very nice specimen. Then when I went to put it in it's slot in the specimen box my finger gently touched the shell, 7 pieces it exploded to. I had debated cover it with finger nail clear polish but it had details I wanted to photograph later and did not want to deal with possible glare. I raised my hand to the Universe and cursed that White Whale.....
