Wisconsin Orthocone Nautiloid Identification

Orthocone Nautiloid is a realistic Wisconsin fossil profile built around straight shelled cephalopod preserved in limestone and dolostone. In this state, success usually comes from learning glacial till, Devonian limestones, and Lake Superior gravels, then timing runoff, reservoir drawdown, surf cuts, or road work that exposes fresh fossil-bearing rock instead of hunting blindly.
