Sydneylh Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Hey guys! I found this today while on a hike along a reservoir in central Iowa. If you have an idea as to what it is I'd love to know! Thanks kiddos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Looks like a brachiopod - what genus, I haven't a clue.

squalicorax Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 What county was it found? My Flickr Page of My Collection: http://www.flickr.com/photos/79424101@N00/sets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydneylh Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 What county was it found? Corner of Polk, Dallas, Warren, and Madison counties. The rocks may have been brought in for erosion control/shore line and may have come from somewhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydneylh Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 OK that's the right in the Iowa Pennsylvanian system. Yes. So, you still think it's just a brachiopod of some type? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herb Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 looks like a brach to me also.
