Unknown Fossil Needs ID

Recommended Posts

Found this slab of limestone digging out an old garden wall. I think it’s a large plant or small tree, approximately 15 inches long and 3-4 inches across. Not much detail visible in either end.
 

Any help?

Hmmm.

Could we see the ends anyway, please?

I think that could be an orrthoconic nautiloid.

Othocone nautiloid for me.

Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!

Thanks for the ID - I had no idea. I’ve heard of nautiloids, but not straight ones. I think we found another one today!

 

I’ll post additional pictures soon, including the ends.
