Nautiloid Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 I found this fossil last weekend at the road cut along Rickard Hill Road in Schoharie, New York. It is from the Lower Devonian Kalkberg formation. The surface has no texture at all. The fossil has a thickness of about 1mm. Originally I thought it was less than 2 inches long and wide but I was able to prep out the rest of the fossil due to the softness of the matrix. It is about 3 inches wide and long. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably some kind of Tornoceratid. growing old is mandatory but growing up is optional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
