minnbuckeye Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Had the time to clean this up and was surprised at what I have. Any help IDing this would be greatly appreciated. It seems to have a tiny little tail!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Dente Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 It is a cephalopod. I've seen this type before on the forum. I'll try to find a name for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Agreed. The "tail" is most likely the siphuncle. Great specimen.
