Humber River Area Find

[JUAN EMMANUEL]

I just wanna share this cuz I never found an endoceras this big before, which is kinda special and unique for me . I was out fossil hunting at the Humber river area here in Toronto with a good exposure back on Saturday and I came across this big phragmocone part sticking out of the bedrock. It was tiring having to dig it out.

Dug out.

The siphuncle. I think it's covered with some pyritish dusting? No clue.

Negative cast still on the ground

This is the phragmocone still partially buried in the bedrock.

I only managed to get half of the exposed phragmocone, but here is what I have obtained so far:

The other half still remained in the bedrock because it's buried deeply.

Here's the length of the whole specimen I've obtained. I'll have to come back the next time to get the remaining leftovers. Until next time.

That is scary-big!

Good job getting it out and back together.

Very cool! Is that anywhere near the old mill?

[JUAN EMMANUEL]

I would say its far from it. The Humber river is big.
