New Members jonnyuke71 Posted August 11, 2020 New Members Share Posted August 11, 2020 (edited) Hey folks: I have a cottage on the Sauble River not far from Lake Huron. I am an English teacher and Chaplain but I have always been interested in the science of the world around me. At the bottom of the river there are rock "shelves" that are fragmented and this sedimentary stone (?) broke away. I flipped it over and saw this shape. There were actually two but I am conscious of file size. My rookie guess is a crinoid stem but better to ask the experts. Thank you in advance! Jon.

grandpa Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Hello and a warm welcome to TFF from Austin, Tx. I believe you have an orthoconic nautoloid fossil there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludwigia Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Yup. That's an orthocone nautiloid for sure. Welcome from an expatriate Bramptonian who spends time once a year at his brother's trailer in Sauble Beach. Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

hemipristis Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Welcome! I concur w/the others: Orthocone cephalopod. Nifty stuff! 'Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.' George Santayana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
