Please don't use coins for scale, it's very difficult to judge if one's overseas. 

However, that is a specimen of the orthocerid nautiloid Treptoceras crebriseptum, I believe.

"Please don't use coins for scale, it's very difficult to judge if one's overseas." -- I didn't think about that. I'll use a ruler next time!

 

"However, that is a specimen of the orthocerid nautiloid Treptoceras crebriseptum, I believe." -- Thank you!
