older the better Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 i found this eroded out of the limestone bluffs, at first i thought crinoid but i dont see any form of symmetry or hole in the disk. is it something else? maybe a vertebrae? its about as big around as a dime and a few inches long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Please take pictures from straight on and all sides. Oblique angled pictures (like what You posted) distort the object's appearance.

Bone guy Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I think what you have is a section of orthoceras. But like @ynot said we need some more pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ynot Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I agree with a partial orthocone nautiloid. Also looks like it is partially geodized. 2 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

No, there isn't any solved option. Feel free to post up any more that you find. Cheers.

Auspex Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 10 hours ago, older the better said: is there a solved option somewhere? Science is, fundamentally, the process of disproving something. Calling it "solved" kinda' shuts the door on that. There is no telling which threads here might later be reopened by someone with new information, or a new question. It happens often! This is how we slowly accumulate new layers of knowledge, much like the sedimentary strata from which our fossils come. 4 "There has been an alarming increase in the number of things I know nothing about." - Ashleigh Ellwood Brilliant “Try to learn something about everything and everything about something.” - Thomas Henry Huxley >Paleontology is an evolving science. >May your wonders never cease!
