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,

I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie.

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!
