Kurufossils Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Hello everyone, I was patrolling my odd Devonian location that has rocks I'm guessing from Upstate New York that are littered with Devonian fossils and came across this on one of the large rocks (unfortunately I can't extract). I'm unsure if its maybe a seas scorpion, trilobite, or something else. My guess leaning towards sea scorpion of sorts but I'd like to hear what you guys think, its the only of it I've seen in the area wish there was more or the rock it was on wasn't a unliftable boulder haha.

izak_ Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 @piranha Maybe a cephalopod or something? And umm... I'm sure theres a story behind that scar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurufossils Posted August 15, 2017 Author Share Posted August 15, 2017 @Foozil Yeah it could be, it's to partial for my limited knowledge on Devonian fossils. Oh boy there is, I can say its definitely not from fossil hunting haha, luckily I still have a hand to hunt with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darktooth Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 It is not eurypturid or trilobite. It may be cephalopod, but its hard to tell for sure. I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurufossils Posted August 15, 2017 Author Share Posted August 15, 2017 @Darktooth Thanks I forget they were around as well, looks very similar to pics I have found of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Another vote for orthocone cephalopod.

Kurufossils Posted August 15, 2017 Author Share Posted August 15, 2017 @Fossildude19 Thanks! I'm going to change my vote to that as well haha I'm glad I realized what it could be and discovered something new to look out for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolmt Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Definitely not eurypterid or trilobite. Partial Cephalopod of some type Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
