Mahnmut Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Hello NatSanders and welcome to teh forum! The parts I can see appear to be crinoid stem sections or osscles. Crinoids are also known as sealillies, although they are animals related to starfish. The round impressions are traditionally called "St. Bonifaz´pennies around here.

Denis Arcand Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 I see that they were found in Arkansas, does someone know the approximate age for theses fossils ? One fossil a day will keep you happy all day. Welcome to the FOSSIL ART Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
