Hello! I don't see too many aturia specimens from Washington on this forum so here are a couple from the last 2-3 weeks of hunting down south in Pacific County. I've read they are Oligocene in age and come out of the Lincoln Creek Formation. What's interesting, however, to my knowledge most fossils coming out of this formation are in concretions. Does this mean the fossils you find loose like this eroded out of a concretion or were they deposited/fossilized in a different manner? Cheers! -Cam

Hello! I'm new to this site and very happy to have found and joined this great community, while I generally focus my collecting on minerals im eagerly collecting fossils too. This is my personal favorite of the few I have collected, and it was found in a creek around Lewis County not far from Salmon Creek (Washington). I believe it may belong to a Aturia/nautilus replaced by chalcedony? Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Cam
