1 year, 7 months ago1 year, 7 months agoI’ve been trying to ID this fossil that I cracked open just yesterday. I have had the rock for years. One person told me Horn Coral, another Crinoid stem in concretion and nautiloid. Could you give me your opinion? Thank you. File is named incorrectly, I think it should read Nautiloid, if this is the correct term for this fossil.
