Hey, so my first post is something that I found at the Montour Fossil Pit in the summer of 2022. the piece is interesting as there seems to be a tentacle with suckers on one side. I had a marine biologist friend take a look and he was uncertain. He thought it could be a folded trilobite but he too was intrigued by what looks like suckers on that "tentacle". I do have access to Harvard so I'll take it down there and see what they say.

Almost a year and a half ago, on my trip to Montour fossil pit, (and my first serious fossil hunt), I found a cephalopod, though not in shale. It was in some introduced gravel, and I immediately identified it as Michelinoceras - it has been my favorite animal for a really long time and I was very biassed. Later, because of the close septa, I thought it was spyroceras; then, since it didn't have annulations, orthoceratoidea indet. . After seeing some Treptoceras, then Cameroceras and Endoceras, I wondered if it were Treptoceras - the rock it is in I cannot identify. What is this cephalopod?
