Hello, In my third mystery find around the Kansas City and Blue Springs, MO areas I found these specimens. And I have yet been able to find any photos on the internet that can come close to their character. Can anyone identify what are these tiny egg-like beads? I hope my photos help. Thanks for your attention.

Hello, Thanks to all for identifying my first of three 'mystery' fossil finds in Jackson County, Missouri. This second item keeps appearing in the chert used for landscaping at a building several decades old. As before I've been unable to identify it by photos on the internet for comparison. Any idea what they may be? I didn't want to break one in half and disturb the integrity of the piece. Thanks again.

Hello, I live near west Jackson County, Missouri. I found this fossil while I was walking my dog. It was part of the landscaping for the front of a building that has been there for 20 years or more. No one knows the origin of the material for the landscaping. Lots of reading, I found most of the chert in the landscaping has crinoids as a point of the time period, Devonian? Can't find any photos to compare it with on the internet, been trying for 2 months, a crash course on paleontology 101. I see Missouri in a different light from it all. Can this be identified? Thanks for the opportunity to share.
