Unsure where to start with this bizarre Concretion fossil! ( Missouri )
Samurai posted a topic in Fossil ID
Location: Missouri Geological time period: Pennsylvanian Formation: Muncie creek shale I believe it is some sort of cartilage or fish material but I honestly have no clue.

From the album: Chondrichthyan Teeth From The Pennsylvanian Period
Specimen is 7mm in size. I was told this could be Hamiltonichthys after posting it to fossilId -

Often these teeth are not widely reported and this specimen is 7mm in size -
From the album: Chondrichthyan Teeth From The Pennsylvanian Period
I assumed due to there being multiple guesses on the fossilId section and this one best fit the description It is roughly 7mm in size It could also be a juvenile of a Petalodont but that is my theory -

Hi, I found this little tooth today in some more limestone. Its the smallest yet, and I'm kind of surprised I even saw it. My eyes are trained to see calyxs not these lovely teeth, so it's a great treat to find it. I'm also pretty new with these teeth, so I'd rather not guess and figured I would ask you lovely folks with more experience. I cannot tell which, but it looks maybe like a Deltoptychius or Deltodus to my eye? It's about 11mm in length. Good chance I'm wrong too, and it maybe not even he ID-able! Anyways, I appreciate opinions as always. -JG

Location is in Missouri The area is dated to the Pennsylvanian Formation: Muncie Creek Shale I assume this could be some part of a fish, as I have found other parts of them inside a few of the concretions from the Muncie Creek formation such as cartilage, or it could be some sort of crustacean part but I do not know what this one could be.

I'm a newbie and found this in the floor of my goat barn. I was sweeping the dirt floor and saw an unusual shape so I dug it up. I am located in Catawissa, Missouri. It is about 3 inches long. Thanks for your help!

Location is in Missouri The area is dated to the Pennsylvanian Formation: Muncie Creek Shale I was cracking Open some Concretions I found and this Came out of one! Unfortunately not in One piece. I was fortunate to find almost all of the pieces, including the tip, but do not know what adhesive to use Never the less I would like to know what species this is from! I have found various prehistoric fish parts from the rock Pile this has come from, Such as teeth from Eugeneodontida and Cartilage. The tip

Found possible bone after Cracking open limestone concretions! From Missouri
Samurai posted a topic in Fossil ID
Location is in Missouri The area is dated to the Pennsylvanian most likely Raytown, Wyandotte Limestone Formation I usually collect a few limestone concretions from a rock pile I go to and a few pieces of what appears to be bone popped out! Unfortunately when it did crack some of the pieces went flying and were unrecoverable While I do not know if it can be identified, I can hope it can somewhat be recognized. In the area I have found fossilized Cartilage through my Concretion cracking adventures and have found teeth from specimen of Eugeneodontida in the area. I also have come across the usual Brachiopods, Crinoid stems, Bryozoans, Rugose corals and petrified wood in the area. I believe this is some sort of fish bone, as to what it was? I have no clue. Below is the left side of the concretion

Location is in Missouri The area is dated to the Pennsylvanian most likely Raytown, Wyandotte Limestone Formation At this pile I hunt at there are many concretions, but none exude the blue coloring as they are mostly black and much smaller. I am not 100% sure these are fossils but these are the only weirdly hued fossils I have found there. I have found a few teeth from Eugeneodontida, Horn corals, Crinoids, Brachiopods, Nautiloids and petrified wood from the area. I do not have any measuring tools that are not wood when I took these pictures. I apologize and hope this could be a decent size reference.

Location is in Missouri The area is dated to the Pennsylvanian most likely Raytown, Wyandotte Limestone I have found a few Prehistoric fish teeth in the area such as Orodus, Acrodus, Petalodus and some of their fragments. I believe the right sided one could be a Petalodus but I was not sure since I have not found a black tooth in the area besides this fragment. As for the left, I have no idea but I did note it had beautiful dimples along its surface. While they may be broken I hope that they can provide enough detail for identification! front side backside, left image has my camera flash on

Location is in Missouri The area is dated to the Pennsylvanian most likely Raytown, Wyandotte Limestone Hi I was wondering if anyone was able to identify these teeth I found together at the rock pile I hunted at, the right I believe could be a poorly preserved Petalodus tooth with its root and as for the left I have no idea and could be from a Petalodus if not the same one? I am not sure as I am not an expert at identify odd looking teeth yet. If possible I would also like to know the tooth placement if it is able to be determined. Thank you for taking your time to read this! I have found shards from Petalodus teeth in the area and 1 almost complete specimen, but none look like the two teeth I found below Backside of the right specimen Close up picture of the specimen on the left backside of the specimen on the left I held them on their side so the tip would be more visible and you could see more details

Difficult to describe fossil in Limestone Concretion From Missouri
Samurai posted a topic in Fossil ID
Location Missouri Found in limestone that was blasted out by construction workers The area is Pennsylvanian on the geological map I have also found prehistoric fish teeth in the area along with Brachiopods, Crinoids, and horn corals.

Location is in Missouri The area is dated to the Pennsylvanian most likely Raytown, Wyandotte Limestone Found in limestone that was blasted out by construction workers I have also found prehistoric fish teeth in the area (Mostly apart of Holocephali) along with Brachiopods, Crinoids, Nautiloids, horn corals, and unidentified cartilage from a limestone concretion. I darkened the left image and lightened the right image to try and make it more visible or at least the darker details more visible I did not bring measuring tools, here is the closet replacement for it that I could find.

Is this a Pennsylvanian shark crusher plate? Is it worth mining out of the limestone?
Samurai posted a topic in Fossil ID
Location Missouri Found in limestone that was blasted out by construction workers The area is Pennsylvanian on the geological map I have also found prehistoric fish teeth in the area along with Brachiopods, Crinoids, nautiloids and horn corals. I was not a 100% if this was a fossil or just a natural formation in limestone. I only say it could be a Pennsylvanian shark crusher plate but I am not 100% sure Sorry for not having a good size reference, I have very little measuring tools, and did not bring it to the site I found it in, there will be a ruler measurement of the hammer below I was not sure if it was biological in origin but the ridge makes me question, and those could be possible pores at the bottom? In all honesty I do not want to make assumptions XD

Location: Missouri Local geological map dictates that the area is Pennsylvanian Found in a rock pile left by construction workers that blasted out the rock. I posted a few of these teeth onto r/FossilID but I have not gotten any good responses to the ones below! So I made an account to show my as of right now unidentified specimen! I have found a few shark teeth in the area, such as Petalodus , and a few teeth that look to be from Eugeneodontida. These are by far my smallest shark teeth, and I was very fortunate to find any!

Location: Missouri Geological map states that the area is Pennsylvanian Found in a rock pile left by construction workers that blasted out the rock. I have found a few teeth in the area such as Petlodus, Orodus, and a few others. Previously posted on r/FossilID they gave some good insight, but I am curious to what other enthusiast think. I know its some sort of Holocephalan but I was told it could be something from Eugeneodontida I have also found another fossil near it, but i did not want to assume they were from the same shark, or if it was from a wild more modern animal Size reference, with right side having flash on while the left does not.

Hey there, I recently found this in a dried up creek bed in Benton County, Missouri. The creeks dried up only for a good few months, so I'm not familiar with it at all. It was about half way buried in some creek sediment, but it caught my eye because of the dimples I saw on both sides so I brought it back home with me. I'm not certain its a fossil, but it looks some similar to Stigmaria fossils I've seen before. I know most of them are sediment-filled casts of the root mold. Any idea if this is one? Wishful thinking? Thanks in advance.

Hi all. I’m new to the forum and I have a number of items that I’m hoping you all can help me ID. This one is from the banks of the Meramec River in st. Louis county, missouri. I’d say it’s about 7 cm wide, 7 cm long, and 5 cm tall. It looks somewhat similar to pics I’ve seen of various vertebrae, but I’m not sure. I’ve included pics of it from several angles. Any thoughts?? Thanks!

Hi this is another one that my granddaughter and I found along the creek bed in house springs, mo. I can tell that it is a bone. I did the tongue test thing and my tongue did stick to it. ( Gross just thinking about it) I'm assuming it's some sort of bone of a deer however we have so many wild and domestic animals around here it could be anything. The granola bar in the last pic of the bone is there to hold it on its size. It's about 5-6" long. Any help would be greatly appreciated. What animal and what bone would be fantastic. Then the last pics were also found around in the same location. I know there are spiral (screw like) fossils in this as well just can't remember what they are called. I'm interested in the fan shaped thing. Thanks everyone!!!!
