Cards Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 I had some luck the other day poking around a creek in Jefferson Co Kentucky (Ordovician) I was told there might be some trilobites in the area, so I went back after a rain to look around. I found a bunch of weird stuff, but this looked the most promising. Is it a nautilus? Thanks as before for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miocene_Mason Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 It is a nautiloid, it's an orthocone. Look at these, maybe it will help https://books.google.com/books?id=HOu8p7kPgfkC&pg=SL16-PA10&lpg=SL16-PA10&dq=nautiloids+of+jefferson+county+kentucky&source=bl&ots=e5zZ-cljVQ&sig=g1Oqj0TL43ROtz96pHOfI1Ez64A&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwik5IT_hJTUAhWF2SYKHWqaAVsQ6AEIXjAM#v=onepage&q=nautiloids of jefferson county kentucky&f=false 1 “...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...

Fossil-Hound Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Beautiful cephalopod you have there. Definitely orthocone related rather than an ammonite. 1 Do or do not. There is no try. - Yoda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifbrindacier Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Nice orthocone. "On ne voit bien que par le coeur, l'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux."

Rockwood Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Weird stuff is quite acceptable here too. If you feel the itch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
