Kentucky Orthocone Nautiloid Identification
Orthocone Nautiloid is a realistic Kentucky fossil profile built around straight shelled cephalopod preserved in limestone and dolostone. In this state, success usually comes from learning roadcuts through limestone and shale, coal spoils, and stream gravels, then timing runoff, reservoir drawdown, surf cuts, or road work that exposes fresh fossil-bearing rock instead of hunting blindly.
