Nautiloid.
  
If you go to see the spring flood at the Jägala falls then look down at your feet too, and inspect the limestone that the waters lay open. Wonderful stones can be found there, for instance spiralling fossils as in the photo. The photo shows a nautiloid or cephalopod. They occur in all Estonian limestone strata, but in the greatest numbers in the Kunda stratum from the Ordovician era, in the centre of the limestone shore. Since this stratum goes from Osmussaar to Narva, the cephalopods can be found in several places.
 
The best places are at Ontika where the sea has bared them by its “preparative” action. Likewise it is worth looking for them at the top of the Jägala falls.
 
Have a beautiful early rock friends’ spring! We will go on telling about discovering the treasures of limestone.
