Unidentified spiral fossil

[MissouriFossil]

Three different people have posted what I think is a very similar if not the same fossil.  In my original post I said it was Mississippian. However, I did purchase it from a dealer that described where he found it.  I was not there. He was elderly at the time so there could have been confusion. I think he has passed now, so no way to know

 

Let's assume age is unknown.

Here are the other postings.

It could be useful to have an idea of the size.

Please post any relevant photos to the Forum.  Unlike Facebook, we intend for the Forum to be a source of information for the long term.  Links to photo hosting services tend to  become unusable, leaving us with a useless waste of server space when no-one can see the photos and so have no way to make sense of the written responses.  Also, we ask that people try to avoid using coins for scale, though I know some people still do that.  The Forum has members from all over the world, and they may have no idea of the size of a US half dollar, any more than US members are likely to be familiar with every possible foreign coinage.

Thank you Don but the 3.95MB restriction wasn't going to work.  I am not good at all at posting and I didn't know how to link to the other postings from before. Looks like someone did though. Thanks Piranha!  Good point on the coins too.
