Fossilhunter134 Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 (edited) I found this fossil in a creek bed in central Missouri and thought it looked a lot like coral. Just wanted a more experienced fossil hunters expertise on Id. It’s a 14 centimeters long, 5 inches.

Darktooth Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 I agree that this appears to be some type of coral, but I can't help with species id. 1 I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IsaacTheFossilMan Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 +1 for Favosites sp.. Quite a few species have been described (including in Missouri), so I'm sticking with species indet. for now. If you would update us with a close up image of detail and formation/location name, someone might be able to narrow it down! ~ Isaac; www.isaactfm.com "Don't move!
