Too Young For Carpoid

I was surfing around and came across a picture of this carpoid on the web, (on ebay) and for comparison post-7046-0-45052300-1327036594_thumb.jpg

to this that I found some months ago in the winterset limestone of Jackson county Missouri,

I now know that carpoid were around from the Middle Cambrian to Early Devonian so mine probably isn't carpoid but they reminded me of each other, you know how it is after yours has been in a box for some time and then you see a pic and in your head, you think, "man alive, I found something a while back that looks JUST like that!!"... well, not quite so much now that I look closer. Oh well, interesting anyway :) Im open to any thoughts on what it might really be!

Here is another that I am not sure about that I could use some input on. Found also in the winterset limestone of Jackson county Missouri. If I squint and stare long enough I can fool myself into thinking I see a chinese frog in it. ;)

It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.

Hi KB, I dont know about either without better pics and more knowledge of your area, but it almost looks like there is a bryo or something resembling one, in the lower-middle part of the visible portion of the rock in 3 and 4. (in the white part) -Just a stab in the dark there, really..
