Pseudogygites

Recommended Posts

Yesterday, I was lucky enough to attend a very special field trip with the Eastern Ontario Natural History Society to a massive road cut in Ontario. The rock exposed was Ordovician aged limestone, and it produced some amazing fossils. I might need some id help with some of these. The giant cephalopod was by far the best thing I found! 

1. Giant Cephalopod (with hand for scale) Camerocerad or Endoceras?

2. Crinoid stems, bryozoans and Gastropod

3. Partial trilobite pygidia

That’s an awesome ceph! The Gastropod is great too!

Happy hunting,

That's a huge chunk of an orthoconic nautiloid - imagine how impressive it was when it was intact and swimming the seas 450 million years ago - yikes!!!

Congrats on the great finds!
