hello! I went fossil hunting a few hours ago and while doing so I came across a phosphatic nodule that was naturally opened most likely due to freeze thawing Formation: Muncie Creek Shale nevertheless I was wondering if someone could confirm if this is a Campodus sp. tooth as I am assuming it is since it resembles my other Campodus teeth and also wanted to see if anyone can help me remove the the mud from this tooth without damaging the fossil inside by giving advice/Tips I do not have any prep tools Without further delay here is the specimen in question Unfortunately due to being opened naturally and not found soon after some of the pieces have fallen out and gotten mud into it, I only had about 10 minutes left of daylight so I plan to return to the location tomorrow after work to find more fragments the side on the left is the one with the most dirt i wish to remove any advice is welcome!

Anyone good at identifying Pennsylvanian Era Plant seeds? ( Missouri )
Samurai posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello! I happened to stumble across multiple seed fossils while fossil hunting recently looking for ferns and I decided i had enough seed pod mysteries to create this thread in hopes for identification Location: Missouri Time period: Pennsylvanian Formation: Upper Winterset Limestone Specimen #1 I would say this one is the most detailed plant seed fossil i have found so far ( Roughly 4.2mm) You can see the outline a bit better in the photo above Specimen #2 more rounder in shape (roughly 7mm) Specimen #3 this one is also with other plant material (roughly 7 mm) Specimen #4 This one was from a previous hunt but if anyone recognizes it let me know! (9mm) Specimen #5 (3mm)- 4 replies
