@semmy-nou Traditionally this has been classified as Orthoceras, however, a paper by Gnoli 2003 shows that there is high diversity in these sorts of straight cephalopods (squid-like creatures). I also read something that is restricting Orthoceras to the middle Ordovicean and cephalopods in other times have other names. This black limestone is…[Read more]

In short, while listed as Orthoceras by many dealers, it may be something else like Arionoceras or Michelinoceras.
-
@mackenzie-smith I think these are from the Baltic area. I think, if I remember correctly, true Orthoceras are only from this area in the Middle Ordovician. I’m not sure I’ve seen Moroccan black limestone but it could certainly exist.
-
I agree with at least a cephalopod ID. @Semmy-nou, would you like to update the taxonomy?
-
-
It might be an trilobite
-
This is not from California, it is from Morocco – very common item for sale (PS it is not a trilobite)
-

I have one very similar given as a gift. From Morocco, Orthoceras is what it is billed as.

4 years, 3 months ago4 years, 3 months agoIdk what it is but need some help identifying it.

I’m thinking this is a concretion… @Mackenzie-Smith?
-
I’m thinking concretion. @semmy-nou, if you scrub it with water will shell appear? If not it’s a concretion but if if you see shell underneath it’s probably some sort of snail. Right now there is too much limestone on it to tell.

Hi @semmy-nou! Nice specimen. This is an ammonite, a relative of the modern day nautilus. Because of the minerals in this specimen, it’s likely from Madagascar. Do you have a picture of the other side? The cut pieces are hard to ID because they don’t contain many diagnostic features (although they are pretty). However, you can eliminate some…[Read more]

May be a snail shell

It is an Ammonite from Madagasgar

@semmy-nou At first glance this looks like a brachiopod. However, looking at the sides would help to see if there is a break in the rock (which might suggest it’s something else). Do you know where it was originally found?

@semmy-nou This is a trilobite. These are arthropods that can be identified by the three lines that run up and down the animal. Do you know where it was originally found and can you get a picture of the head (we call it a cephalon)? This will help further with identifying which trilobite it is. I’m going to tag @cameron-muskelly and @samantha-ocon…[Read more]

this is a felxicalymene ougzi (definitely butchered the species name) from the Ordovician-Silurian rocks of morocco, Africa. It is a very common trilobite from Africa.
