Ludwigia Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 I'd say parts of belemnite phragmocones since the stratigraphy there is Jurassic. 2 Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abyssunder Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 I agree. Are they pyritized?

We are swimming against the current on that stratigraphy I guess. Better back up to cephalopod, huh Herb ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herb Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 If the rock is Paleozoic then nautiloid, if Mesozoic, then belemnite.

In my own odd way that is what I was getting to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just quoted Mick66ey and the photo came along with it. I think he just got it out of the internet. Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

(Passaloteuthis bisulcata, from the Lower Toarcian Grey Shale of the North Yorkshire coast). Yours are indeed all belemnite phragmocones - the Staithes one might be the same species, Sandsend will be a bit later and the Hornsea one will be a glacial erratic so hard to date (and strictly speaking could be a Carboniferous nautiloid though I've never seen one from there while Jurassic and Cretaceous belemnites are common).
