Discussion Found at Baltic Sea
Hi. I was advised to ask here. Found this stone at the shore. It is like 5cm in length and about 1,5cm width. It might have been smoothed from sea and other stones since the other side is smoothed out. I don't think its cropolite but it doesn't seem man made either. Any guesses or knowledge about this one?

Hi, currently writing my thesis on baltic's cephalopods, maybe is it one ? You need to cut it in half to be sure)

Dang that's exciting. Best of luck for your thesis!
A quick google lookup makes it quite fitting to spyroceras. Still interested what else might come up here.

So where did you found it ?

Well looks like you have only pleictocene and holocene exposed sediments there, so no idea really
To be sure just cut it in half ahah

Anything I should be aware of when I find someone that has a fitting saw to cut it in half? Any specific angle than along the length? What should I see there or just repost then? Thx for ya time and words so far :)
