curatorcoulter Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Hi everybody, I'm a neophyte to the geological realm (especially regarding paleontology), but I thought I'd share some finds on the forum. In Layman's terms, I found some clams, possibly some coral, and (...wait I know this one) Crinoids! Any possible fossil ID would be great, happy to be here, and glad to join a community with similar interests! All items below were found within 100-200 yards of each-other on the Meramec river just outside of St. Louis, Missouri. 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) 8) 9) 10) 11) Artifacts: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mahnmut Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Hi, nice haul. I think I see a cross-section through a trilobite in no2?

JohnBrian Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 The piece of pink glass in the first artifacts photo is Depression-era. I have a small bowl &/or cup somewhere that is the same color and has the same style bottom. I've also seen the pink glass ware in antique stores. Other than that, I know many of your fossils are crinoids, clueless on the rest! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- John I had a friend once, but the wheels fell off. Sad, very sad. - Nightwing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahnmut Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Does anyone else see a cross-cut Trilo here? If not, what is it? 1 Try to learn something about everything and everything about something Thomas Henry Huxley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
