I would say yes, in that we don't really have records for these animals from Missouri. There are pretty extensive collections of material like this from both Nebraska and Illinois, but the new locality might be of some importance. My suggestion would be to send an email to Dr. Michael Coates at U Chicago and see what he says. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allosaurus Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Date of Discovery: May 30, 2020 (cleaning and prep finished June 12, 2020) Genus: Schinoxylon (Pepperwood tree) Geologic Age: Green River Formation Location: Blue Forest, WY Last minute entry. 1st pic is of the entire log while in the ground, and the rest show the specific section I am entering. The section I'm entering is just shy of 12 inches long showing that botryoidal blue (and other colors) agate on the surface. Most agate on wood from this site chips off during the algae removal, but this piece also has varying colors in the agate. I had no idea it was covered so beautifully until I cleaned it. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimravis Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Well I decided to enter this little partial trilobite that I collected on Friday. This piece is not very pretty or complete, but from what I am being told, it is something very special. Date of Discovery- 6/26/2020 Scientific and/ or Common Name- Amphilichas halli (Trilobite) Geologic Age / Formation- Upper Ordovician/ Liberty or Whitewater Formation State, Province or Region- Brookville, Indiana 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
