Unknown Chert Gravel Fossil, Devonian Or Mississipian, Louisiana
verydeadthings posted a topic in Fossil ID
I have been collecting chert gravel fossils from the Bogue Chitto river near Franklinton, LA off and on for the last couple of years. These fossils come from the Citronelle Formation, which is Pliocene in age, and contains mostly unconsolidated sands and silts, as well as rounded chert river gravel which contains paleozoic fossils. The age is poorly known, as far as I am aware, and probably contains fossils of very different age. The most reputable source I have found on the subject was mentioned in an earlier post in the Louisiana section of the forum: (http://www.msgravel.com/assets/1312/Rocks_and_Fossils_Collected_from_MS_.pdf), but I'd be happy to learn more on the subject. According to the link, they range in age from the Devonian to the Mississipian. From my experience, crinoid fossils are the most abundant. Tabulate coral, horn coral, bryozoans, and brachiopods are less common. I just posted some of my finds to the Louisiana section of the forum: (http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/topic/39199-paleozoic-chert-gravel-fossils-from-bogue-chitto-river-washington-parish-citronelle-formation/) I have two finds in particular, however, that have stumped me. The first looks like a shark tooth, but is just an outline, and has been worn down. I think this one may be a pseudofossil. The second is more interesting. I will post a couple of pictures and then a higher quality one in a second post. Superficially, it reminds me of a cross section of a tree seed, but I don't think that's a possibility, considering all the other fossils are marine and paleozoic in age. It is bilaterally symmetrical, so perhaps a chordate or arthropod? I really have no clue. Sorry for the picture quality, I need a better camera Let me know what you think!- 5 replies

Hello From Louisiana Hi, I am a professional geologist, whose interest in geology started out as a fossil collector, and an expatriate Texan. Currently, I am involved largely in geologic mapping and other geological research within Louisiana. In my geologic mapping and research, I do keep my eye for fossils and report them to my paleontologist friends and collect them if needed. Also, part of my job is to answer questions about Louisiana geology from the general public. PDF files of a number of my publications and contact information are online at the website listed in my profile at http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/user/8078-oxytropidoceras/ . By the way, publications about Louisiana geology can also be found at http://www.scribd.com/etchplain .
