FossilNerd Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Heya Matt! Neat find. Can you get some closer pictures? Maybe from a couple of different angles? I’m not sure it is a cephalopod, but it looks pretty cool regardless! A few different pictures may help us figure out what it is. 1 The good thing about science is that it's true whether or not you believe in it. -Neil deGrasse Tyson Everyone you will ever meet knows something you don't. -Bill Nye (The Science Guy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 I'm not sure it is a cephalopod either, Matt. Looks more like a bivalve, to me. Better pictures might help us decide what you do have there.

Fossildude19 Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 I think I can see some growth lines in a blown up version of the picture.

CrazyRockLady Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 If possible, you could also try cleaning it up a bit more to try and get a better idea of what it might be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
