Hi Troy! I’m having a little trouble telling from the picture so do you think this fossil is one continuous spiral or are these stacked chambers? If one spiral, then it is probably a gastropod (snail). If it is stacked chambers, then it is probably some sort of cephalopod (group containing squids, octopi and ammonites).
-
Not a spiral,more like the stacked chambers with a small round circle that seems to go thru each section.
-
Hi, Troy! Looks like a cephalopod to me! I can sort of make out the siphuncle (tube within the stacked chambers) and it appears to be not central – which is an identification clue.
-
Thank you, sorry for the poor photo.
-
The pictures are pretty blurry, and there’s no size information/scale or horizon info, so it’s hard to make an ID…. It’s definitely not a brachiopod, so at least there’s that. If it’s tiny, my guess would be a tentaculitid of some kind. If it’s large, as it almost seems to be in the first photo, it begins to look more like a cephalopod.

Dear Members:
A couple of questions that I’m hoping a fellow brachiopodophile might be able to answer!
1. Does anyone know if the large cut on Rte. 27, south of Richmond, Indiana, is still worth visiting? Once upon a time it was a great site, but I haven’t been there in 15 years….
2. Might anyone have information about Waldron Shale exposures that are accessible to casual collecting, particularly around Vernon, IN?
3. Given that this summer I’m finally making it back to the IN/OH/KY area and my “origins” as a fossilphile, I’d be grateful for any tips on other sites that are worth a visit. My information is woefully out of date.
Many thanks,
W.

1 year, 8 months agoMarie Vahue posted an update in the group Bodacious BrachiopodsHello everyone! I am looking forward to adding the Devonian brachiopods that I find in our Western New York shale as time allows.
-
That sounds excellent, @marie-vahue! myFOSSIL has some Ordovician brachiopods, courtesy of @matthew-croxton and me, and a few Jurassic ones from @bostickkw but I’m looking forward to some more age diversity in the brachs.
-
@alycia-stigall might be very interested to see your specimens, @marie-vahue!
