WerkSpace Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Another find from southern Alberta. It appears to have tentacles.
howard_l Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 I am thinking Ammonite, a look at the other side might help Howard_L http://triloman.wix.com/kentucky-fossils
Auspex Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Yes, an in-filled ammonite chamber. Size and location would help.

rejd Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 It's a piece of very worn baculites.

WerkSpace Posted February 5, 2015 Author Posted February 5, 2015 You're too funny. Each photo is the opposite side. I am thinking Ammonite, a look at the other side might help
Herb Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 looks like a piece of ammonite to me also "Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence"_ Carl Sagen No trees were killed in this posting......however, many innocent electrons were diverted from where they originally intended to go.

rejd Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 I find a fair bit of pieces like this. I'm certain it is a section of baculites.

fossilized6s Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 I have similar pieces. I believe them to be from an Ammonite or Baculites.

Auspex Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Another Baculites specimen it is.

Ludwigia Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 In Germany we name these pieces "Katzenpfoten", which means "Cat's paws", for obvious reasons. Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/
painshill Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 From the shape, I would think baculites too although an ammonite chamber would be quite similar. For reference, and to help understand the anatomy, here's a couple of very worn ammonite specimens. 1 Roger I keep six honest serving-men (they taught me all I knew);Their names are What and Why and When and How and Where and Who [Rudyard Kipling]
