Mignoffo Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Does anyone know the genus (species, even?) of this coiled cephalopod found at the famous roadcut in Southern Indiana? We found this last spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FossilDAWG Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 As Foozil noted views from other angles would be helpful. Is it completely coiled on itself like a modern nautilus shell? If so it is most likely a Charactoceras. If it is curved but doesn't wrap around on itself there are a few genera it could belong to, so those other photos would be useful. Nice find!

Mignoffo Posted August 14, 2017 Author Share Posted August 14, 2017 Oh I see what you mean. It is surely not tightly rolled. If the above is not enoughI will grab a couple more tomorrow. Putting kids to bed now. Thanx so far too BTW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
