This is my first almost complete internal mold of an orthocone nautiloid. It is from the Leighton Fm, Maine. From the little I can see of the external mold, I believe it to have the same grooves as in the Possible Fossil Coral post, but I am unsure. Help on the general id of it would be greatly appreciated. Here are some pictures of it:

The more I learn, the more I find that I know nothing.

That gastropod is pretty cool too. 

Not sure on the cephalopod, though.  :shrug:

Silurian Period, for ID purposes.

Sorry, meant to add that.
