Al Dente Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 It looks like part of a nautiloid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludwigia Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Yup. I'm on the nautilus bandwagon as well. They could get very large in the Jurassic. The one in the wall could be well preserved. Please show us if you dig it out. Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drbush Posted May 19, 2019 Author Share Posted May 19, 2019 The one in the wall was stuck in a very hard layer my hammer broke and i was afraid to damage the fossil, the one i gut fell down from the same layer by natural causes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drbush Posted June 9, 2019 Author Share Posted June 9, 2019 correction , Jubaila formation is lower Kimmeridgian / upper Jurassic not mid Jurassic as i indicated before . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
