These are a few things that some of my family members found when we went on a hunt in the Coon Creek Formation in McNairy County, Tennessee. I'm pretty sure the smaller one is just some hematite formation but I'm not sure about the other one.

Not exactly sure whether this is new information, has already been observed, or if this is just me misinterpreting fossils, but I recently noticed that there are two species of the Coon Creek Formation that look very similar. That being Pterotrigonia thoracica and Trigonia eufaulensis. I noticed while observing a gallery made by @Herb that each species looks very similar, and are almost indistinguishable. Upon observing other examples of each species, I came up with this conclusion: P. thoracica typically has 14-15 ribs on its shell, while T. eufualensis has 16-17. Let me know what you all thi

I have been finding associated pieces of this large bone in the same spot for several years now. Starting to come together to create a possibly diagnostic specimen. The site is in the Late Cretaceous Coon Creek formation, a near shore environment on the Eastern shore of the Western Interior Sea. The site is predominantly marine, however carbonized wood is very common and the rare bones terrestrial vertebrates have been found here before. My initial guess was something along the lines of turtle plastron, but it just doesn’t seem to quite match any I’ve seen in papers so I thought I would ask fo

I recently went on a fossil dig at Coon Creek in Adamsville, TN. This fossil was found, but we were not exactly sure what it is! We were told it was a baculite? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
