Hello everyone and first of all thanks for allowing me to have a part on this great forum! My wife and I are from Michigan but took a little vacation to North Carolina. While here we did some fossil hunting and I would love any help in IDing our finds. I will post pictures of them but I am most interested in the knowing the ID of the first two I will share. 1. This tooth has no serrations at all. Looked kind of like great white but the lack of serrations has me wondering. I will defer to the experts

Is this crustacean exoskeleton? If so is there anything to identify it beyond that?
Samurai posted a topic in Fossil ID
Location: Missouri Period: Pennsylvanian Formation: Iola Limestone (Muncie Creek Shale Member) Hello! I have found similar pieces to this nodule below and I was wondering if this was a piece of exoskeleton from some assorted shrimp or some other crustacean/animal. Most of these pieces I find I assumed to be chert or very coprolitic in nature but the more visible "structure" in this specimen leads me to believe otherwise. My best guess is that this is a piece of crustacean and I hope that this piece will be recognizable by someone. I will say shrimp has been found in Muncie creek phosphatic nodules and I have only found assorted pieces such as tails. A post by Missourian from a couple years ago did mention that phyllocarid shrimp can exist within these nodules. This does happen to also have some iridescence but I could not get it to be picked up that well with my camera I can provide more images upon request- 4 replies

Hard to identify material in phosphatic nodule? Piece of a crustacean? Coprolite? (Missouri)
Samurai posted a topic in Fossil ID
Location: Missouri Time period: Pennsylvanian Formation: Muncie Creek Shale I have been going through some old nodules I had collected from when I first found an area full of these nodules. I happened to find this and was unsure of what it was due to how it was sort of "Shiny" for lack of a better term. I also have some other different phosphatic nodules with similar features and would love to post them here if anyone is interested. I ultimately wish to have some sort of identification for these materials. Some sort of inclusion in this section so maybe it is possibly coprolite? I do not know- 3 replies
