Some fossils from the Juana Lopez Member (Turonian) in the western foothills of the Sierra Nacimiento, New Mexico. Inoceramids. Borings, or just erosional pits? Possible Entobia trace fossils? This puzzles me. Trace fossil?

I found this fossil while hunting for ammonites in Rio Puerco valley. What is it?
seejay posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello, I was out fossil hunting the other day and found this. At first, I thought it was a piece of ammonite and I am very new at this so I have no clue really. I have found a few ammonites now and the more I look at this thing the more I think it looks different. It's very clearly what looks to be bone(?) or solid shell that is the same shape on both sides, it has 7 extrusions going around the sides of the bottom half and the second half of the upper bone portion has broken off. Any ideas? Thanks Thanks to PFooley for helping me check out some new areas in my state!- 9 replies

Hello from New Mexico. I have always been interested in the diverse geology here in New Mexico. I am new to identifying fossils and am seeking spots in the state to explore. I have found numerous fossils in the Sandia and Manzano mountains. To my 'beginner' knowledge , most of these fossils are from the Pennsylvanian era. Very fun findings! I'd appreciate any knowledge anyone might be able to give about sites around New Mexico. Also what to look for in those sites. I found one site through this page for ammonites and am excited to venture out there soon. Thank you
