Hi, interested to hear some thoughts on this fossil found in Chicago. It was chiseled out of a large boulder containing Silurian reef material; rugose corals, gastropods, bryozoans, crinoids, etc... I'm guessing it is a form of stromapotoroids, but I'm not sure. Any ideas? Measures 2.5"

Hi, I'm quite new to this forum, first time posting. Took me a while to figure this all out and get my pictures down to a file size to put on here. A little history of where this one and several others I will post came from. I have 8o acres in Missouri close to I-44 and the Gasconade River, about 1100 feet above sea level. Who would have thought I'd be finding sponges there. I don't go digging for these. They are on the ground or in the creek bed. Most all the rock in the area is chert, dolomite, quartz, and really hard stone, very little sandstone and no limestone. I've spent a lot of time trying to identify these fossils, and the more I learn the more conflicting the information gets. The timing, the place, and the fossils just don't seem to agree. Not to mention I really don't have a clue what some of them are. I've been all over the net and to USGS in Rolla, MO, who are trying to get me some answers but don't know themselves. I can speculate but I'm no paleontologist. I've been a rock hound all my life. I love this stuff. I've just never studied it officially. Heck, I can't even pronounce most of the names of the things much less remember them without writing them down. The piece here is my first find. I'll post two more pictures of it.
