✅ SOLVED My two Favorite finds

[wolfcouncil]

Maybe someone has seen another piece like we have here. Maybe they are common, but I couldn't believe it when I found the second smaller one, a few months after finding the first.

i lean towards fossil...

You've got an interesting find there for sure.

You can see very clear evidence of tool work on them, especially the larger one.

can you show it real close?

Sorry man, but I agree with Unclemac. To me, it looks like a section if a fossil ammonite. You can even see how the ridges on one side are opposite of those on the other, which would allow the sections to interlock. I know they are bad pictures, but here is one of mine for comparison. Hope this helps.

A distant relative to the Ammonite. This is a straight Baculites or Baculite. It went extinct in the Cretaceous Period. In this same area there will be large clams as well. When you break one into sections, you see the network of connected chambers that controlled the depth the Baculite would be beneath the ocean surface. They looked like a squid inside a pointed shell. If the original shell is intact, they can beautiful white iridescent. Also called a cephalopod. Sharks teeth are also commonly found in the same area. How do I know? I have collected these in Wyoming. They occur from Texas north to Canada.
