Orthoceras-limestone πͺ¨ π¦
Found an new rock with an orthoceras or alike specimen partial in it. Like an previous one.
The remaining fossil of the once chambers of the nautiloide marine animal, good to be seen on the red pebbles side, the mineralized white shell in red sandstone or Kalkstein. Now they are four cephalopod finds of Orthoceras by me.
They can be dated to 480 million years from the Ordovician, pretty cool and old preserved.
The same reddish brown colored rock like the other piece from last year, the first found.
Thinking my finds of them are an smaller species of the cone shaped cephalopods.
Itβs called and also named here an Geradhorn from β gerades Horn β - linear horn form but my find is an half broken inner mineralization in the curved form in the rock. π
Really nice in the cool red limestone matrix, the other side has also an imprint of one or is the other side of the same on an curved surface.
I has last time found an assumed half of an horn coral or sponge in red limestone, not to far. But itβs bad to shown here in pics, to bad to be seen the reminiscent patterns of the imprint.
