ynot Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Welcome to TFF! It looks like it is a nautiloid. A type of shelled squid. 1 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough." My Fossil collection - My Mineral collection My favorite thread on TFF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chase_E Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 I second @abyssunder, looks like some crinoid stems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FossilDAWG Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I can see the resemblance to a nautiloid, but I also favor the crinoid stem ID. Don. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
