I found this in linn county Iwoa and i have no clue what speices they are from. And they are both from the middle devonian period.

Heres the first one.

And the next one.

Thanks for the help.

To my eye, the first two images, plus the last one, most closely resemble cast fragments of orthoceras, a straight-shelled nautiloid cephalopod that is very characteristic of the Ordovician Period, although it did, indeed, persist into the Devonian.

I was thinking they were orthoceras but this seem so much diffrent from others i have found.

That ceph looks a some of the ones I've been finding up here in MI.

Like a football. I'm still trying to work out an ID. No age on the rocks; glacial till -- could be Ord. to Dev., but I've got a feeling they are Dev.

Perhaps a Diestoceras sp. or Billingsites???

Another thought:

from the Ascoceratidae family?
