GroundViewer 11 Posted March 31, 2019 I recently went to green mill run and found this strange fossil and I'm not sure what it is. Does anyone know what this is? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reptilia 60 Posted March 31, 2019 So this is totally a guess, but to me it looks like a Belemnite. A belemnite is a cephalopod that looks somewhat like a squid. They were around from the Late Triassic to Late Cretaceous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DatFossilBoy 279 Posted March 31, 2019 To me, it does not look like a belemnite since one end of a belemnite is pointy, the other flat. This piece has both pointy ends. This is really hard to tell. Hopefully others can help. Regards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Al Dente 4,546 Posted March 31, 2019 It looks like a tilly bone from a fish. Most likely from the Pliocene Yorktown Formation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
