Cpmiller Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 My wife found an interesting fossil yesterday and I need an identification. It was found in northeastern ohio at an area transitioning from Devonian to Mississipian. It was a floater and many marine shell fossils were also found in the same locale...but all floaters.

fossilized6s Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Can you please provide a few dimensions? I can definitely see growth sections and a "bumpy" surface. ~Charlie~ "There are those that look at things the way they are, and ask why.....i dream of things that never were, and ask why not?" ~RFK ->Get your Mosasaur print ->How to spot a fake Trilobite ->How to identify a CONCRETION from a DINOSAUR EGG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auspex Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 If I squint and stick my tongue out just right, I can imagine it to be a not-too-well preserved length of Calamites with branchlet-whorls coming off the nodes.

Haha, i can see that. I was leaning more toward Ceph or Ammo, but they both don't fit the bill exactly..... ~Charlie~ "There are those that look at things the way they are, and ask why.....i dream of things that never were, and ask why not?" ~RFK ->Get your Mosasaur print ->How to spot a fake Trilobite ->How to identify a CONCRETION from a DINOSAUR EGG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
