CDiggs Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 I think this is a fossil but not a bone or vertebra, looks more like part of an ammonite to me, but maybe someone more experienced with invertebrate material will be able to say more. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avalonian Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 Hi land. You appear to have found the internal mould of an ammonite chamber. The ammonite probably wasn't the same type or shape or age as the one shown in this blog post but the pictures will give you some idea of what you're looking at, I hope: https://woostergeologists.scotblogs.wooster.edu/2011/11/13/wooster’s-fossil-of-the-week-a-baculitid-ammonite-cretaceous-of-wyoming/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 These chambers are known as "cat's paw" in layman's terms. Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
