mikeymig Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Sure looks like an Orthocone. Where was it found? Many times I've wondered how much there is to know. led zeppelin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe your area of NY is Upper Devonian in age. It also could have been glacial deposited from an area just north of you. I find all my best orthocones from the Upper Devonian shales of NY just North of the locality you stated. So it prob is a straight shelled nautiloid (Orthocone).
