Hello! I’m Kate. I love rocks and i went rock hunting while on vacation in missouri. What i found was a ton of fossils. So many that i found myself trying to be selective…. I can only carry so much. i have very limited information on fossils so lets just say i know basically nothing. I dont buy them and have no plans to sell. so this is, to me, the most amazing fossil i found. Ive been working on cleaning away the rock for a couple of weeks but the central fossil was pretty much just ss you see it here. I only had to clear a little between what im calling the top and the bottom. Most of my cleaning has been on the right snd left sides of the rock. this was found in a dry creek bed in Hannibal Missouri. any assistance and advice is greatly appreciated. Im cleaning with vinegar, dental pick, scribe, straight pin, etc. kind regards, Kate

Hi could this possibly be a fossilized leaf? Or is it just my imagination. Found it in a creekbed near the Mississippi in Northern Missouri. Thanks in advance!

I collected this echinoderm part from Silurian Bainbridge Formation outcrops. There are two spike-like projections exposed, and two more that are buried in sediment. The rock unfortunately split in 2 pieces, and I noticed two other spike-like projections on the opposite side while glueing it. I thought it looked somewhat similar to an Ancyrocrinus holdfast, but the age is wrong and I haven't found them reported from here. I apologize for the poor quality photos, I will update with better quality ones when I relocate the specimen. Any clue if this is a holdfast indeed, and if so what crinoid it could belong to?

Found what looks like a Phacopid trilobite here in Missouri. It was found weathered, but I believe it's from the Bailey Limestone. Is there a fauna list or reference anyone has on these trilobites they could share?

Found this loose in southwest Missouri. Looks like petrified wood to me. Am I correct?

I found this (presumably fossilized bone) loose in southwest Missouri. Am I correct in my presumption.

Found this fossil loose in southwest Missouri. I think it is bone. Am I correct?

I found what I think is a very small and mostly complete (distal edge view) cladodont tooth. It appears to be missing some root and also has a crack running right through it, so I glued around the stone to keep it stable enough until I get home to clean it up in a few weeks. Any thoughts? It looks like one to me, but I've been wrong plenty of times before.

Hey guys, just wondering if this looks like a shell to you? Thanks in advance!

I joined today just to figure out what I’ve found out back today. Found in Johnson County Missouri. Does also seem to be hollow as I can hear something shaking around inside. Is about 3” in diameter. Would greatly appreciate your thoughts!! Thank you all!

Hi I found this in a creek bed in Missouri not far from the Mississippi River. Need help identifying please. If I were to guess, it's some piece of a crinoid? It's my best find since I started this new hobby. Thanks

Hey guys, wasn't sure if this could possibly be a tooth of some sort? Or if it's just my imagination. Thanks for your input! Found in a creek bed near the Mississippi in Northern Missouri

Hi, please excuse me if I've posted this in the wrong place. I just got a trilobite out of a friend's estate, but I can't find any information about it. The label states: Eoharpes ottowaensis, Billings M. Ord. (Kimmswick Fm.) Frankford, Mo. My friend was generally very good about properly labeling his specimens, and he was familiar with Ordovician trilobites in Missouri, so this one's a bit puzzling. Maybe a typo? Any help or suggestions that you have will be greatly appreciated.

Found in creek bed in Northern St. Charles County, Missouri. It's interesting... don't think it's just a rock. Maybe just an impression (or whatever it's called, can't remember proper term), or if it's one or more things. Help with ID would be very much appreciated! Also, please let me know if photo quality is not sufficient or if anyone has any suggestions for future post.

I collected this disarticulated cystoid from the Kimmswick Formation (Late Ordovician) in eastern Missouri. Cystoids are well outside my wheelhouse, so I was hoping someone here might be able to help me narrow down an ID, if one can be made at all from what's present. Thanks for any help.

New here. Trying to figure out what this is. I found it along a creek bed near Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri. Inside reminds me off bone marrow, but I'm not sure it's a bone. Any ideas?

I found this in my backyard in a hole that my husband dug in southeast Missouri. I thought it might be metal but the more I look at it the less it seems like metal. A magnet doesn't stick to it. I have never seen anything like it. Feels like rock. Both sides are fairly symmetrical. It is 1.25" tall.
