I am pleased to announce a new set of forums to better support cephalopod fossil discussions on TONMO. The structure was proposed by TONMO Staff member and Fossils Moderator Kevin Bylund (Architeuthoceras), which I promptly approved and implemented.
Here is Kevin's description of the new forum structure. We'll be working to put old threads into their rightful places. THANK YOU Kevin!

The Cephalopod Fossils Forum Category on TONMO.com is being sub-divided into the following sub-forums:
1. General fossil cephalopod discussions: a place for general discussion, statements or questions regarding cephalopod fossils. Taphonomy, Biostratigraphy, paleoecology, and paleoenvironment as pertaining to cephalopods also belong in this forum.
2. Ammonoids: For discussions, statements or questions regarding ammonoids
3. Nautiloids: This forum includes all externally shelled cephalopods other than ammonoids
4. Coleoids: Belemnites, Squid, Argonauts, Spirula, Octopus or any other internally shelled or non-shelled cephalopod fossils.
5. Soft part preservation: Fossils showing the preservation of the soft parts of cephalopods. This can include fossils from any of the 3 groups above.
6. Non-ceph: Some pertinent discussions on fossils other than those of cephalopods
7. Fossil cephalopod ID requests: This is the place to post photos or descriptions of fossils you need identified. We will try to identify your fossil or at least point you in a direction that can lead to an ID.
8. Collecting trips and field work: Tell us about your collecting trip, a journal of your field work, or a conference you attended. Announcements of future meetings or questions about a well known locality.
