RJB Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 My youngest son went to the eastern part of this state, (Montana) to do some paddle fish fishing, (and caught one too!) and also went on a short day fossil hunt. He didnt find much, but he did get one great big concretion. this was inside with part of it hanging on the outside. He left it here at my house and I did about 20 minutes of rock removal to expose most of it. I dont mean to take away my sons thunder, but being that I am the "Great Father", there is nothing he can do. Actually he could easily kick the cowpoop out of me but I dont think he will do that? Oh, I think this is Eutrephoceras from the Pierre Shale Formation. RB 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miocene_Mason Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 A true beauty! Gotta love the nacre. My dad tells a yarn about seeing someone catch a paddlefish in Pennsylvania, must be a fisherman’s tale... “...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...

Let me set it down over here and the fossil spirits may help. Nice find. Are you done with prep?
