Ludwigia Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 This could also be a complete specimen with the separate septal chambers starting at the inner whorls of the phragmocone and the living chamber at the end. 1 Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

hemipristis Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 looks like Eutrephoceras sp. They're known at least from the Eocene down them parts.

A type of nautiloid. Here is a picture of a species that is still alive today called a nautilus. @Randyw beat me to it!

Jacobward328 Posted June 29, 2019 Author Share Posted June 29, 2019 Yeah i found it in Pawleys island prolly 15-20 mins from Myrtle beach. Can anyone identify the type of rock that it’s fossilized in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
