ajham30 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I'm fairly new to fossil hunting. This is one of my first finds from last summer. Just sitting near a small creek. Not sure exactly what it is. Possibly a coral? I think it's pretty cool. Full of tiny little fossils. I took a close up of one with a microscope lens through my iPhone. I can snap a few more later as well. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajham30 Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 Thank you! And after some research, I now know what I'm looking at. And possibly for in the future. I guess these could have been caused from a sea lily...which is the Missouri state fossil. So that's cool. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
