ynot Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Welcome to TFF! The spiraled thing in Your picture looks like the cross section of an ammonite shell. 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.

Miocene_Mason Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Could It be a gastropod? “...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...
Fossildude19 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I'm in the gastropod camp on this one. Neat cross section. Maybe something like Maclurites sp.? Any idea of the size of this?
