An Afternoon Hunt In The Pennsylvanian Lansing Group
Missourian posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
On Saturday, Bullsnake and I hunted a collection of large road cuts at an interchange in Kansas City, Kansas. The strata examined included most of the units from the Farley Limestone (Kansas City Group) to the South Bend Limestone (top of the Lansing). We started on one ramp featuring the three members of the Plattsburg Formation: They are, from bottom to top, Merriam Limestone, Hickory Creek Shale, and Spring Hill Limestone. The Spring Hill (bottom half here) is nicely weathered along joint planes: Phylloid algae is plentiful: The limestone is extremely fossiliferous, but the fossils were either encrusted with crud or were locked in the dense rock. Unable to find anything collectable, we moved onto the next ramp.

I found this in the same vicinity as a couple of possible Deltodus teeth, but it just doesn't have the same look to it. I believe it is the Plattsburg fm. Spring Hill ls. Size is ~1cm X .5cm I'm not positive on the orientation, but I've stated my perception of it, if it helps. TOP CLOSEUP SIDE(a) CLOSEUP CONTINUED...
