JUAN EMMANUEL Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 (edited) I just wanna share this cuz I never found an endoceras this big before, which is kinda special and unique for me . I was out fossil hunting at the Humber river area here in Toronto with a good exposure back on Saturday and I came across this big phragmocone part sticking out of the bedrock. It was tiring having to dig it out. Siphuncle sticking out Dug out. Edited September 10, 2014 by JUAN EMMANUEL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JUAN EMMANUEL Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 The other half still remained in the bedrock because it's buried deeply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUAN EMMANUEL Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 Here's the length of the whole specimen I've obtained. I'll have to come back the next time to get the remaining leftovers. Until next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 That is scary-big! Good job getting it out and back together.
