Crinoid, Scales and Birds? ID help

Recommended Posts

Pictures of 2 I found Sunday. I'm located in Missouri, 30 mins south of st. louis. I have a creek that ends in my back yard and I'm at a lower elevation. Using maps from USGS .Gov my property is part St. Peter sandstone, Everton formation middle ordovivian to early ordovician and smith dolomite, Powell dolomite, cotterill dolomite, Jefferson city dolomite early ordovician-ibexian series. I'm still working on learning what that all means lol. I also have 2 different fault, sense of displacement unknown or undefined, certain lines. Not sure if that info is important, but figured extra info is better then not enough. 1st 2 pictures I think they are Crinoids but my Google searches. The big one is about brick size and had alot of stuff going on. The 3rd picture I think looks like it could be a bird or reptile? Either that or the cracks in the rock look like a bird. The last the one side has scales? No clue. If the file is too large I will add more pictures in the comments. Thanks for looking! 20200422_224339.jpg.5a9717ff9ac844de26d54ea769349395.jpg20200422_224319.jpg.af5a2b2ee467a8d9fe56e133bbae0b95.jpg20200422_224256.jpg.0e9e34b33862904e03558c9c5c9bf3e9.jpgResized_20200421_222420.jpeg.fa248a0c4fc80986a7b9744214990db9.jpegResized_20200421_222230.thumb.jpeg.8e8c234d8afe1de8c0fd8e32096bde21.jpegResized_20200421_220008.thumb.jpeg.ea5fb4c730fbe441fa1bfbd41d0ef59e.jpegResized_20200421_220145.jpeg.19a2632f3dff95a867f9234e0245eeb0.jpegResized_20200421_212303.thumb.jpg.c03852c90878f64afd17db08f69d13f4.jpgResized_20200421_192026.thumb.jpg.e8a051bcdee75ddf0853c58c6a999b31.jpgResized_20200421_222105.thumb.jpeg.a4e223d36e3741cad6e32373d75175b9.jpeg

Hi Tonia, 

 

I may be wrong but I’m not seeing any fossils. Or maybe my eyes just aren’t adjusted to the day yet :P. I think some are minerals, and some are flint or something.
