All things ceph seem to be that way :tentacle1:

Well I have a life outside of the ceph world... no, really, its drug induced :rainbow:

Nice fossils POD_L, I have never seen a reticulate pattern like that on a nautiloid, thats neat. :cool2:

below is a Eutrephoceras from the Santonian, notice the straight sutures, it is a little distorted, but not that much.

Everytime ya'll post your finds, the first thing that comes to mind is, "What an interesting fireplace they could make!". Of course you could never sell the house after that (unless you had enough of a surplus to build another) :razz:

Yea, a fireplace, two bedrooms, three walls out in the backyard and the field next door. It would be easier just to move out on an outcrop somewhere and build a new house out of fossils. :lol:

Yes I can see how straight the sutures are,great for comparison. We do have some like that , I have seen one example in another's collection with a super S suture, possibly Paracymatoceras.
