Drufeus Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 I found these today in Henderson Harbor NY along the shore. One looks like a plant of some kind and the other a cephalopods of some kind? No clue as I've never found something like this and can't find anything similar online for the plant like one. Any help would be amazing and thank you!

abyssunder Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Welcome to the Forum! The first one might be a bryozoan (as Adam suggested), the second one is clearly an orthoconic cephalopod. 2 " We are not separate and independent entities, but like links in a chain, and we could not by any means be what we are without those who went before us and showed us the way.

Drufeus Posted August 25, 2018 Author Share Posted August 25, 2018 Thanks to both of you!! I have more section to the Othoconic Cephalopod but not as exposed and am afraid to chisel around damage it. Bryozoan makes sense after now researching it more. Thanks again and believe I am hooked!! Plus my 2 year old loves throwing rocks so will be fun to have him out and about. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Innocentx Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Agree with 7 minutes ago, abyssunder said: orthoconic cephalopod. Makes more sense than spiroceras. The other radiates out from a point but it's hard to see. @Drufeus. Do you know the geologic age of Henderson Harbor rocks?

Not too sure but the research I have just read is around the Devonian Period and some Late Cambrian. I'm completely new to this with 0 knowledge about it. Hope this helps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Innocentx Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 @Tidgy's Dad. I didn't see the sections when I first viewed the cephalopod so may very well be spyroceras. 1 "Journey through a universe ablaze with changes" Phil Ochs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Innocentx Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 From what I can gather the area is Ordovician. I really like your cephalopod! "Journey through a universe ablaze with changes" Phil Ochs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Looks like that area is mostly Ordovician in age. That would make the cephalopod more likely to be Michelinoceras sp. . Spyroceras was a Devonian genus. EDIT: Welcome to the Forum. Nice finds - thanks for posting them. 2 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 IPFOTM -- MAY - 2024 _________________________________________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."
