turtlefoot Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Hi all, I have been working pretty hard to learn and identify my fossils as I collect them. I have one that I need confirmation on. I believe that it is an Orthocone Cephalopod but if someone can either confirm this or tell me what it is if I am wrong, I would appreciate it. This was found near Willow Springs, Missouri, USA. If my studying is correct, it should be from the Ordovician Period and from the Jefferson City/Cotter Formations. It measures a little over 57 mm long and at the widest point measures 22 mm across. The attached image is horrible. I cannot get any decent images with the lighting that I am using tonight. If it isn't good enough, I will take better images tomorrow. Thank you for your time and assistance. Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 I believe these features would be considered spreite, or menisci in a trace (ichno) fossil. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlefoot Posted December 26, 2019 Author Share Posted December 26, 2019 Thank You! That is seriously cool to me. I have never found anything like that before. Something new for me to read up on tomorrow. Thank you once again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
