MoRockHunter Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Found this yesterday at a creek in brown spring missouri and wonder if it was from a trilobite possibly? And also was hoping to find out what this other piece of rock is because I find little ones often but never found one this big? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aek Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 What age are the rocks? My wild guess is Ordovician. Looks like possibly Isotelus thoracic segments or possibly even Gonioceras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minnbuckeye Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 The smaller one looks like a rugosa coral cross section. I lean towards trilobite on the other, but not enough present for me to say for sure. From semantic scholar Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zenmaster6 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Not looking like a trilobite to me. But I'd be in your boat too, posting it on the fossil forum. If I was in my favorite site, I would guess it was a crab apron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlefoot Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Before going any farther in my post, remember that I am a newbie in the identifying game when it comes to fossils. My idea is undoubtedly way off as at this point, I still go primarily by matching fossils to images and then going from there. That being said... Is it possible that it is an impression fossil of some sort of plated mollusk similar to the image below. The following image is from http://www.lakeneosho.org/Ozarks/fossils.html which is actually about Ozarks Paleontology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
