Mark.

 

Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!

Thanks so much for the answer, and compliment on the specimen! I searched many images and books on fossils before joining the forum, no wonder I couldn't identify this one.  I am very happy to have found this group, and enjoy looking at other member's finds.

As stated, this is a pretty nice example of Cone in Cone structures.

Definitely a keeper.  I hope to run into one as good some day. :)

Yup, very nice cone-in-cone structures! :)
