Hello,

This fossil was found in Europe, northern Poland to be exact. Does anybody know what is it?

Thanks,

Diana

Looks to be a nice orthocone cephalopod.

You can clearly see the siphuncle in the last pic.

Possibly something like Spyroceras, if we are still dealing with the Middle Devonian.

Was this found near the brachiopod plate you posted the other day?

Regards,

Edit: - Yup - that fixed it. ;)

Here is a diagram of orhtocone cephalopod anatomy, sorry, I don't remember where it came from.

Thanks Tim!

No, the brachiopod plate was from upstate NY, and this one was found in Poland :)

BTW, I just found out my brother (the one that gave me the brachiopod plate) has a huge one built right in his living room's wall! There are many interesting creatures there. I'll post it later tonight.
