Wrangellian Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 I'm fascinated by the early cephalopods you guys have over there. But ours here are interesting in their own way too: Here (pre-prep; I don't have the tools yet) is a heteromorph ammonite from the local Upper Cretaceous (Santonian).. Tentative name we have for it is Pseudoxybeloceras. Love those names.. Note the nodes as well as the ribbing and the slight curve. Reconstructions of this type of ammonite are of a large paperclip-shaped thing. Length about 1'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tracer Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 dis cephalophantopod is teh best i gots by weight but i haven't unrolled it yet...it's from north texas and i thank the north texans for leaving one for me to find. p.s. - regartless of if you think my picutres are any good, you should preciate the effort i gots to go to to find them to post them due to my "filing system" which involves a magnified glass looking at several entire hard drives.
