Tips for Fossil hunting in the St. Louis Area of Missouri
Joseph Fossil posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Recently, I've been thinking about conducting an exploratory fossil hunting trip in the St. Louis area of Missouri. I've never been there before, but I've heard there is a lot of caves and limestone outcrops near the city. I've also heard there is a decent amount of Ordovician and Mississippian fossils in the area. I'm just wondering if anyone's been fossil hunting in the St. Louis area before and what fossils can be found there?- 22 replies

Mississippian Roadcuts and quarries in Alton Illinois
Joseph Fossil posted a topic in Questions & Answers
I've been looking recently into possibly fossil hunting by Alton, Illinois for specimens of Mississippian era fauna. I'm specifically looking for general places like roadcuts and quarries with 330-340 million year old St. Louis Limestone (Meramec group) in the Alton area. I'm just wondering (without anyone being too specific about localities) is there any general places like quarries or roadcuts that match that description in Alton, Illinois?-

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, new member and first post. I found this in a pile of rocks on the side of the road left when a landscaping company truck delivered a load to a new home. Sorry but that is as much as I can narrow down a location. Probably from a local area though as we don't order rock from out of state much around here.
