Dromiopsis Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Hello, Seen recently in Sweden along the coast of the island of Öland, at least 1.10 meter if I compare with my boot. Probably an "Endoceras sp", the siphuncle is non centered.

Ash Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I wish you could cut around and under it and take it out on a block. Very cool find.

Dromiopsis Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share Posted April 23, 2014 I wish you could cut around and under it and take it out on a block. Very cool find. Dear Ash, The slab is too thick.....Without Diamond disk.....no possibility....I hope that a lot of people will have the opportunity to see it before the Baltic sea destroys it forever...

Dear MarqusandDad, thank you for offering your help. but should commit too many efforts and equipments to extract it in one piece. I have already one measuring 50cm, that's enough!

Shamalama Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I like the kink in the shell! Nice find and good job memorializing it. -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers. When a roadcut presents itself, they tend to lurch and weave. To them, the roadcut is a portal, a fragment of a regional story, a proscenium arch that leads their imaginations into the earth and through the surrounding terrain. - John McPheeIf I'm going to drive safely, I can't do geology. - John McPheeCheck out my Blog for more fossils I've found: http://viewsofthemahantango.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
