Questions about any large and currently unnamed Ctenacanthiformes sharks known
Joseph Fossil posted a topic in Questions & Answers
As I have been researching large ctenacanthiform sharks from North America, I've been wondering if there are any known globally that are currently unnamed. I definitely know of the large Ctenacanthiformes Saivodus stratus (found in both what is now North America and Great Britain), the large Ctenacanthiform from the Permian Kaibab formation in Arizona, and the 'Texas supershark' (a likely large species of Gilkmanius) from the Pennsylvanian Texas Graham formation (all three as larger or larger than an adult Great White Shark (Carcharodon carcharias)). But are there any large ctenac -
I found this in a creek in the Ozarks in MO. Anyone know what it is? It’s about the size of the palm of my hand.

My boldest claim yet, Is this a small Chunk of Listracanthus? or Bias? ( Missouri )
Samurai posted a topic in Fossil ID
Location: Missouri Period: Pennsylvanian Formation: Iola Formation (Muncie Creek Shale Member) Hello! once again. Today I have what is either a cluster of scales, or a possible chunk of listracanthus that was entombed in one of these many phosphate nodules I have come to possess over the years. I only say Listracanthus due to the "scales" looking feathery and wavy much like the 3 other Listracanthus denticles I have found so far from these nodules. The main difference is that it appears to be attached to something this time. Let me know what you think! -

Hello, looking to see if anyone can ID any of these to species level? They were found in a creek which is a mix of Middle Ordovician and Lower Mississippian rock in Defiance MO . Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello everyone, does anyone know the best way to clean these? I can’t sadly prep them with a sandblaster or air gun but I wanted to see if there is a way to dunk them in something? I’ve already washed them with soap and water and used a toothbrush. Any recommendations would be great!

Location: Missouri Period: Pennsylvanian Formation: Iola Formation (Raytown Limestone Member?) Hello once again. I happened to have come across a Cladodont tooth of some kind but I am unsure of what it exactly belongs too. I am stuck between Glikmanius or Saviodus. I'm thinking its the later due to how straight the tooth seems, but I am not sure how to truly tell the two apart. I notice this specimen is oddly white compared to the black teeth I'm used to.

I’ve been watching some YouTubers who find fossils in Florida and they’ve brought up the point of getting a fossil permit. I live in Missouri and I tried looking up if I needed one but haven’t seen anything saying I need it or where to even get one if needed. I also looked up the legality of selling fossils here but I get mixed answers. Is it legal if from public land? Thanks for any help!

Tips for Fossil hunting in the St. Louis Area of Missouri
Joseph Fossil posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Recently, I've been thinking about conducting an exploratory fossil hunting trip in the St. Louis area of Missouri. I've never been there before, but I've heard there is a lot of caves and limestone outcrops near the city. I've also heard there is a decent amount of Ordovician and Mississippian fossils in the area. I'm just wondering if anyone's been fossil hunting in the St. Louis area before and what fossils can be found there? -
My folks have a nice lake behind their house. It is relaxing to spend a warm evening watching a heron spear fish or geese fight each other. Or watch silt slowly fill the lake bed. Across the street, a housing developer stripped off a bunch of soil down to the bedrock, but ran out of money before building on the land. This has resulted in some significant erosion and sedimentation in the lake, but this cloud does have a silver lining. I soon noticed a thick bed of shale exposed on the hill. So it was only a matter of time until I make the short trip to the top. The hill,
