Western NY Arthropod (?) Fossil ID help

Recommended Posts

Some classmates and I found these materials resembling an arthropod with a potential matching trace while having a field day a few weeks back. Due to the strange preservation and limited material, we've been struggling to ID them.

We believe this looks like a partial, segmented arthropod- but it doesn't have the typical higher-quality carbonized preservation.

 Does anyone have any ideas?

Welcome to the Forum.  :)

 

I took the liberty of converting your images to .JPG format, as the Forum doesn't handle the .HEIC format.

 

The first and last items look like orthocone cephalopods to me.


The middle one is a bit stranger.  :headscratch:

 

I wonder if it could be a very worn conularid?   Wait for other opinions, however.
