FossilNerd Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Nice nautiloids, Nautiloid! I'm curious as to where they are from...

Monica Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Spyroceras is probably my favourite orthoconic nautiloid genus - thanks for the eye candy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bringing Fossils to Life Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I'm pretty sure at least the second Michelinoceras is a Bactrites, because of the fracture line running down the middle, as well as the texture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
