desjane Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Hei, I found the stone from Gulf of Finland where are seen skeleton of small animal. It can be late Cambrian or early Ordovician. Here you can see movie at youtube. - https://youtu.be/UllqeIadzPc What do you think, what could it be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miocene_Mason Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 It is an Orthocerid, which means the strata is Ordovician. This is the cross section and the bottom is somewhat deformed. Welcome to the forum from Maryland, USA by the way! You also have another cross section next to it. An orthocerid is a cephalopod, and looked kind of like a squid with a shell. Nice find! 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...
Miocene_Mason Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Dinosaurs evolved in the Triassic period (and lived in the jurrasic and died at the end of the Cretaceous), much later then the Ordovician so you probably won't find them there. “...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...

Accurate. However is it not also accurate to call it the skeleton (exo) of a small animal ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 I agree with the others. Somewhat deformed Orthocerid partial. Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
