Bev Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Note the large one and the smaller one to the left at the 8 inch mark. Ordovician era; Galena formation SE MN Found today in a quarry. Gastropods or Cephs? Thanks for looking! Bev The more I learn, I realize the less I know.

Fossildude19 Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Gastropods for sure. Nice ones, too, Bev. Some nice ones in cross-section as well. Maybe Caleb or one of the others in your area will help with a more narrow ID.
