Ludwigia Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Looks at first glance like a Cephalopod partial. 1 Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TqB Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 I agree, it seems to be a nautiloid cephalopod. More views needed to help narrow it down. 1 Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tidgy's Dad Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 The preservation and shape looks more like a Middle Silurian Gomphoceras or oncocerid to me. 3 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one possibility of a large number (and would indeed make it Silurian). You need the aperture shape and internal details (and ideally the stratigraphy) for a proper ID . Leaving it at "oncocerid" is safer. Nice fossil, by the way. 1 Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got in contact with the man who gave it to me. He mentioned that it comes from a Upper Frasnian layer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
