Itusuallyworks Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 I figured I would share little bit with you guys of some of my favorites out of my collection , the Trilobites I found probably 20 years ago near Grafton Illinois while I was actually geode hunting , The corals ( I'm pretty sure they are corals) were found in Gravois creek in St.Louis ( its chock full of them) . 2 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FossilNerd Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 (edited) The coral looks to be of the genus Acrocyathus. Would need a few more pics to verify, but maybe A. floriformis.

Itusuallyworks Posted March 29, 2021 Author Share Posted March 29, 2021 Thank you for the link , by the way I like your blastoid avatar , I still have never found one of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fossilcrazee Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Those tiny trilos are super-cool! Nice finds! I don't get many opportunities to collect trilobites so have very few but here is a tiny one from the Mississippian Haney Limestone (Sulphur Indiana, where you can also find blastoids!). It is so small I am reluctant to try to clean it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itusuallyworks Posted March 29, 2021 Author Share Posted March 29, 2021 I like that one , I have thought of building a small sandblaster to clean them like Nighthawk in light did on youtube ... but I am also scared of messing them up , would make a lot of my fossil cleans easier and faster than my dental pick and magnifier method.. but also scared of ruining fossils. The video if any one is interested LINK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
