I am unsure if these are gastropods or ammonites. I am thinking ammonites but just wanted a conformation. Thanks :) Silurian, Wabash formation btw.

I can't make out any septa (chamber walls); if there are none, they are gastropods.

Gastropods, there were only coiled nautiloid cephalopods in the Silurian, no ammonites.
