Fossildude19 Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Yes, it is a Vinctifer comptoni from the early Cretaceous Santana group, Araripe Basin, Romualdo Formation of Brazil. There is also an orthocerid nautiloid from Morocco beneath it - (black and white fossil) 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."
