This is an image of a fossil discovered by my daughter at Trout River. Previously she has uncovered crinoid calyxes (calyxi?), corals, and shells. This seems a little too large for a crinoid stem since it measures about 1" top to bottom in the picture. Anyone able to id this? She would greatly appreciate any information.

The size isn't really out of range, but I don't see any of the usual indications of it being crinoid related.

Perhaps some other angles and even a shot of the more identifiable stuff would help.

Possibly an orthocone nautiloid/cephalopod.

I agree with a cephalopod ID.

Another slightly different angle with new lighting.

Thanks for the answers. We are learning and are keen to hear the experts.

Looking forward to posting more fossil pics in the coming year, 2017, after our next visit to Trout River. Maybe we'll get a real stumper one day.

Now I see it. I had been focused too much on what appeared to be an opening at the top, and was after more diagnostics there.
