Kane Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Nice find. That would be an orthocone nautiloid. 1 ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrangellian Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Nice early nautiloid! Can you give any stratigraphic info (age), or narrow down a location for us, so that we can figure it out for you? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miocene_Mason Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 That's a nice one! “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FossilDAWG Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Whereabouts in Northern Ontario did you find this? That could help us pin down a geological formation and age. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShanniElle Posted June 27, 2017 Author Share Posted June 27, 2017 It was found in the Severn Bridge/Orillia Ontario Canada area -( so maybe not actually northern Ontario more just northern compared to where I live lol). My boyfriend found and brought home a much bigger one that is fully intact! it seems like these things are really common at the quarry he works at Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Lucky to have such nice stuff at work. Tell Him to look for other fossils, there should be some nice ones of other things.
