Tidgy's Dad Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 USA is not very helpful as a location. I have never been there but understand it's quite large. A proper scale would be useful too. However, it's the end of an orthoconic nautiloid of some ilk. 3 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manticocerasman Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 I agree with Adam, it is part of an orthocone from a cephalopod. growing old is mandatory but growing up is optional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coco Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Hi, I agree with what was said earlier. However, for your future photos, please read my last link in my signature and do the right thing.

Mark Kmiecik Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Nice one! Also, if you scroll down the main page, not far from the top you'll find a topic titled "Fossil ID" (where this post belongs, admin will probably move it there, so if it's not here, that's where if went ). Look through a couple dozen posts there and you'll probably see a couple more orthocone nautiloids. They lived and died by the millions and are therefore quite common anywhere marine strata is found. Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
