Hardly anybody ever talks about the Cambrian fossils of the southern midcontinent (USA). They're super-underappreciated. Show us what you've got! Here's one to start us off: Thorax and pygidium of a trilobite, possibly Orygmaspis, typically referred to as "Orygmaspis cf. Orygmaspis llanoensis" but probably a different species altogether. Note the two pairs of macropleural spines marking the final thoracic segments. Davis Formation (late Cambrian: Furongian), south side of Highway 8, St. François County, Missouri.- 8 replies

Would this be a snake or lizard fossil? Its a creek rock from a creek bed in Weldon Springs Missouri.

It wraps all the way around or quite possibly just goes all of the way through? I am not sure but it is pretty! Any help you all have is amazing! -
I found this while visiting Missouri over Easter. I’m hopping someone could lead me in the right direction to finding out what this could be.

This one is just a cool find to me even though I don't have a clue what is is.

These pictures are all the same rock just different angles for texture and visual show, I haven't found anything else in the rest of the item, just the lump ( which my husband has dubbed.. the klingon mini crater) -

Ok Super sleuth's, what do you think about this one? Bone?
TinySpiderMonkeyNinja posted a topic in Fossil ID
This is yet another strange looking rock/bone, from the decorative river rock around my pool. I tried to catch the best parts of the detailed areas, which to me resemble the porous look of a bone. What do ya'll think? -
Is this a bone by chance? This one I am positive came from theMissouri side of the Mississippi river bank!
TinySpiderMonkeyNinja posted a topic in Fossil ID
I did find this item on the river bank of the Mississippi river, in a tiny cove right smack between Alton, IL and St. Louis county, MO. No digging required, I was just trolling the embankment. Do you think it is bone? All the photos are the same item, just different angles and close ups. -
I found this on top of the ground while mushroom hunting. I have collected arrowheads, fossils, and other odd/cool looking rocks for a number of years but have never seen anything like it before. I found it a few miles south east of Calhoun,Missouri close to Henry county road NE 300, and a few yards from Tebo creek. I appreciate any help identifying what it is and approximately how old.

OlEzra posted a topic in Fossil ID
After finding more time to survey my property. I have noticed many rocks with fossils, trying to be careful with the terminology that I am not aware. I have 35 years of finding Indian artifacts; arrowheads, grinding stones, bird points from the area of my hometown. But no experience with fossils at the location that I have recently moved in. Current Location: Eureka, Missouri. Jefferson County. Shelf Rock, halfway up a steep hill in a narrow valley. Rocky Terrain mixed with Clay below the topsoil. I have found layers of shelf rock, with multiple layers of -

I found this in a creek bed in the Ozarks. I have found multiple Ordovician fossils. I was just wondering if anyone has seen something like this or if it is just a weird rock formation.
-
So there is this nifty oddity, I found it in my backyard pool decor rock bed. The first photo is the entire thing. Then i show them separately. I am sorry that I used the penny this time for size, I found my square for the next time.. I saw someone else post a fossil like this one; however, I am a newbie and I have not figured out how to look for other photos yet.

Found these in a road cut of old 66 today, my wife and I are regular rock hounds and just getting to know the area

I believe the dark brown may indeed be skin while the blue part is cartilage. -

From the album: Muncie Creek Shale Phosphatic Nodules
I assume this is some sort of bone either from a fish or some sort of other specimen. It could be a spine of some sort but I am extremely doubtful -
