Appart from the ususal goniaties that I find in my favorite hunting spot, I do find some other cephalopods there from time to time.

Last trip I found a realy nice orthocone. the fossil shell is 18cm long.

I used a combination of mechanical ( airscribe ) and chemical ( potassium hydroxide ) prepparation.

pictures as found, during prep and after prep:
