I took a trip to Southern Indiana to do some fossil hunting (they are an elusive creature). I am now just cleaning some of them up and saw this one and it piqued my curiosity. It is from the Ordovician period (Dillsboro formation). Can anyone help me out? Sorry for the use of a quarter, it was all I had. Thank you.

Looks like an orthocone cephalopod to me. :)

For a meager bid you can have yourself one of these custom photo cubes and a whole bunch of great ammonoid fossils.

That will clear up that coinage dilemma right up! ;)

Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!

Agree with the cephalopod assessment. Looks like you have some brachiopod/bivalve pieces around it as well. I would guess brachiopod since they are so common in the area.

Why the Forum's own "2019 Rolling Auction" going on right now of course!  It's as simple as throwing down a winning sum and all the goods are yours.
