Jackie Harris Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 If I already submitted these photos, I am sorry. I am working from my phone. I found this on my friend's yard yesterday. I will send samples of all lighting I have used. The first photos are from inside, at night. Then one will be from outside in the daylight and another one will be from inside, during the day. I see a full mushroom fossil. On some sides it resembles the cap of a morel mushroom and then on one side there are gills of a mushroom. Let me know what you all see, I have found something but I am not sure what I have found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kane Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 My guess would be brachiopod judging by what appear to be plications and growth lines. The fossils in Missouri would mostly be marine.

I've been cleaning and inspecting a box of similar material lately myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
