gdsfossil Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 (edited) Freshly found. Found in/very close to Needmore Formation near Petersburg WV. More sandstone than shale, but shale was just above. Lots of brachiopods nearby. Would love someone to tell me it's a rare ammonite or similar. Thoughts? ID help? Thank you.

Kane Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Absolutely gastropod, and a nice one at that. ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kane Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 It looks somewhat platycerid, but I seem to be coming up short on the literature for the Needmore. I'm sure someone out there reading this might have the goods! ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Maybe something like Naticonema or Platystoma? Hard to tell for sure, as it is an internal mold, and is missing identifying details. 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."
