Paula (Seneca20) found this complete and near perfect Ammonoid (Manticoceras) during our hike/fossil hunt on Sunday 8/21/2022. She goes "oh hey, there's this thing"
It was the find of the day, of course

 

I'm not sure if I should clean it up or leave as is. I think it looks kinda cool half buried in a nodule. The shell of the cephalopod is in great condition. Something that rarely happens in this formation.

Good job Paula!

Many times I've wondered how much there is to know.

I saw "manticoceras" in the post and you got my complete attention :p 

Nice find :) I got the same problem here, shell preservation is rather uncommon where I find them.

I would try to get it a bit further out of the matrix, but only if you got a good separation of the matrix.
