Some Relatively Heart Shaped Fossil Gastropods or Bivalves? In Phosphatic Nodules ( Missouri )
Samurai posted a topic in Fossil ID
Location is in Missouri The area is dated to the Pennsylvanian Formation: Iola limestone formation Subformation: Muncie Creek Shale Member Hello and happy valentines day ! I was re-examining my old collection of Muncie creek shale nodules and found these peculiar specimens Originally I posted an image of one of my larger heart shaped fossils in my member's albumwhere someone mentioned it could be some sort of bellerophontid gastropod but now that I found a second more complete specimen I think it was time to ask fossil ID to get more eyes and possible identifications. Specimen #1: My newest specimen and one I found to be heart shaped This specimen also has some weird sphere like structures beneath it so I took more up close images of it For this specimen there are no other parts of this nodule as I found it fragmented. Specimen #2: (2.3cm) My largest one and the one possibly identified as a bellerophontid gastropod Size comparison between this specimen and the smaller specimen Specimen #3: I think this is just a regular old brachiopod or bivalve but I just wanted a confirmation on such! (The individual is 6mm long) It also died near some fish remains Both halves of the nodule Right side of the nodule- 2 replies
