I found this strange fossil/rock/bone buried in sand on my property in Bellevue, WA 98004 USA. The property is on Lake Washington and the area where is was found suffered quite a bit from erosion due to winter storms. The specimen was buried in glacial till saturated in water. It was pretty smelly when I first found it. But, as it has dried, it is less odious. It appears to have a layer of casing and you can see where that has chipped away in some places. It seems to be some kind of fossilized bone. Since it was found lower than the level of the lake on Lake Washington and the area where it was located was covered in about 2 meters of dirt until we did some landscaping to create a beach, and the lake level was lowered about 3 meters in 1916, it has been wet for a very long time. Any ideas if this is of any interest? Thanks, Bill.

So, found this interesting piece on my trip this past weekend. It is from KY. Upper Ordivician and could be a couple different formations. I dont know how to tell them apart. But the two main ones I know of are the Fairview and the Bellevue. Obviously, I know its a cephalopod. And I am sure an exact species is not likely. But can anyone give me a genus?
