Bonehunter Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Here's another I worked on when I was a kid- found in St. Louis county- I shellacked it and kept it in my "kids museum for the past 47 years. I believe it came from the "ocean" as there is a shell adjacent to it. Thoughts? age? Thanks! Bone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Depending on where in St. Louis county it was found, it could be Ordovician, Mississippian, or Pennsylvanian in age. Looks like possibly a branching coral, to me. We would need better pictures of the inside of the tubes to be sure. EDIT: You might take a look at the fossils posted on THIS WEBSITE. 2 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

Mark Kmiecik Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 I'm not saying it is, but is sponge a possibility? Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see that. Or perhaps more accurately, can not see that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
