Found a beautiful Discoceras

[PaleoOrdo]

I found a nice Discoceras yesterday. A part of it is unfortunately destoyed by a vehicle. The stone is too big so I left it in the field. It is more difficult to take it out of the stone then with ammonites I guess. I also found this second speciemen which I do not know which family it is. Anyone have an idea? Size of the Discoceras is about 15cm in diameter, while the send is 5 cm long.

By looking at the center of the Discoceras, it seems a small Nautiloid cover it.

In picture  it seems to come a tube or something out of the bottom, could that be the neck or part of the siphuncle, the siphuncle seems visible too near but but in the center position, on the dorsal side? That could be helpful determine, for identification of family.

Pretty awesome fossil. I am unfamiliar with Norway's fossil but this one is nice. Thank you for sharing.

You are welcome Trevor. Here is another I found recently, I think an Ortoceras?

Wow those are cool, what's that fossil at the top of the rock?

It is a rugose coral, I thought it shined like a sun on the nautiloid, so I added some sun-lines :-)
