Wrangellian Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Penn central Texas Nice! I havent seen too many of these in such (near)completeness before. Seems like a similar situation to our local Cretaceous Baculites which we hardly ever find more than just pieces of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Russell Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 WOW RC! Those are some sweet swimmers! I have nothing that impressive, but what I do have I've found right here in our back yard. I have roughly 30 more that I've found in the last month or so, a few being some of the best in my collection. I'll post them as soon as I picture them. Here are the one's I have pictured here on the Forum. http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php/gallery/album/2411/726-cephalopods/ Finding my way through life; one fossil at a time.

Rob Russell Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Here are 2 cephalopods from the Platteville formation. The huge Endoceras comes from Southeast Minnesota and measures 42inches/1.07meters. The coiled cephalopod comes from Southwest Wisconsin. Wow! That thing's a monster! Nice fossil Caleb!

Caleb Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 (edited) I just thought I would revive this old topic. Here is a Charactoceras laddi from the Maquoketa formation of Southeast Minnesota. There is a small spot of the original shell material with pattern on the top of this specimen.

TMNH Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 (edited) Great topic Shamus! Cepalopods are my favourites! Here are 2 cephalopods from the Platteville formation. The huge Endoceras comes from Southeast Minnesota and measures 42inches/1.07meters. The coiled cephalopod comes from Southwest Wisconsin. My eyes almost popped out of my head when I saw the boot in your first photo compared to the endoceras! :greenwnvy: Kinda makes mine look puny, but I will show them off anyways...

TMNH Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 (edited) Treptoceras crebriseptum, Georgian Bay Formation, Ordovician. This one has it's colour patterns preserved with light brown stripes running the length of it and some black stripes encircling the tip! I think this is one of my most interesting finds!
