That's quite a nice haul @op. What part of the world?

Montana in the Bighorns! The bighorns are really under rated.

I don't think I've been to that range. Will have to try to bring my mom. She loves looking for fossils and Montana

OK OP, what is a cephalopod bullet?

I was being funny about the bullet. They are just fossilized squids. It was weird I was sliding down a hill and I was like pointy things!

Drop them in a tub of muriatic acid overnight to make them look shiny and new! - seriously, don’t do that as they are calcite…

Cool, I didn't know squids fossilized. TIL.

Can you sell those? I've always imagined one would get rich from such a find.

Nah, these ones are like dinosaur poop and like couple of cents. Finding them in the wild is priceless though. Found a leg imprint Sunday.
