hitekmastr Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 On our first fossil trip (last summer) I found this cephalopod (Michelinoceras) at the Ordovician roadcut site at Antes Creek, PA. Some of those familiar with the site said they had not heard of many previous cephalopods discovered at this site and I was wondering if anyone knew if this was true.

Ludwigia Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Sorry I can't help you with your question, since I've never been to that site myself, but I just wanted to congratulate you on finding the first ever cephalopod with sunglasses What's that rock on the left, by the way? ...well actually and on a more serious note, this is just my method of bumping your post back up to the top again Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

FossilDAWG Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I thnk I see a siphuncle, or maybe it's a snorkle? I marked it with a red arrow in the photo. So the cephalopod ID is likely correct. Some of those Ordovician squids got pretty big! Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herb Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 A double barreled siphuncle! Seriously though it looks like a ceph. to me also.

hitekmastr Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 Always appreciate the combination of humor and information! That's what makes this forum so cool. Actually, my wife says she often mistakes my nose for a curled up trilobite, or a cephalopod. She has on occasion called me Ordovician! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
