0lderthandirt Posted November 8, 2019 Posted November 8, 2019 Hello and thanks for looking. I found these on my property in NW Arizona. It's Mississippian, Mooney falls member of the redwall limestone. I found the little pill like fossil a few days ago and then the column today. These are not like the tons of Crinoid fossils I've found nearby and I can't seem to find anything that matches online. I'm sure some of you will know immediately what it is. Please help if you have and ideas. Thanks Will your next answer to my question be no?
Tidgy's Dad Posted November 8, 2019 Posted November 8, 2019 The bottom one is a straight shelled nautiloid, probably an orthocerid. Nice. 3 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend.
Fossildude19 Posted November 8, 2019 Posted November 8, 2019 Cropped, brightened, and rotated: I agree with Adam, the right side one is an orthocone nautiloid. Not sure about your spheroidal one. Pictures of the other side might help. @DPS Ammonite 3 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 IPFOTM -- MAY - 2024 _________________________________________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

0lderthandirt Posted November 8, 2019 Author Posted November 8, 2019 Thank you for the quick replies! The small one is just 2 segments that match the long column. Thanks again for identifying it for me Will your next answer to my question be no?
Manticocerasman Posted November 8, 2019 Posted November 8, 2019 indeed all parts of straight shelled orthocones in my opinion. The little hole in the small one could be the position of the syphuncle. 2 growing old is mandatory but growing up is optional.
