Ordovician cephalopod

Recommended Posts

So, found this interesting piece on my trip this past weekend. It is from KY. Upper Ordivician and could be a couple different formations. I dont know how to tell them apart. But the two main ones I know of are the Fairview and the Bellevue. Obviously, I know its a cephalopod. And I am sure an exact species is not likely. But can anyone give me a genus?

After going through the report Tidgys Dad provided, I am almost 100% sure it is a Treptoceras sp.  :)
