Marine Reptile?


Westcentralsask

Recommended Posts

I found this fossil in a rock pile the other day. I have not tried to clean up this specimen aside from a quick rinse under running water. I’m new to fossil hunting (and this forum) but am curious as to what this might be? Looks like it’s possibly the lower jaw of a small marine reptile. It was found in West-central Saskatchewan. Thank you in advance for any replies!

It might be the inner cast of a straight shelled cephalopod. the conical shape and som remains of the septal walls on reguler distances. the hole in the 3rd picture is on the right spot for the syphuncle.

growing old is mandatory but growing up is optional.
