Found this in south Sweden. Looks to me like a shrimp of some sort. Anyone recognize what kind? Thanks for the look!!

Bella, I think what you have is geologic. Stone with another mineral crust on it.

Thanks for answering. I was very uncertain at first if it even was a fossil. But after washing it I became pretty confident that it is. Of course I am not very good at this yet so there is a big possibility that I’m wrong :D 

here’s a better pic!

It might be a very worn othocone 

Yes I think your right. It was the white shell-looking part that threw me off. Thanks

I think I see some segmentation in that last pic.  Really hard to see too much on a phone.

Depends where in South Sweden it was found, but it may actually be Orthoceras sp.

Yes, it was hard to capture it on photo. It’s in really bad shape. It’s a bit more prominent in reality.
