Early Mississippian (Insert ID Here)

Recommended Posts

I found this recently in an Early Mississippian lag deposit amongst several other fossils, including shark's teeth, bones of unidentified critters, and phosphatized inverts. From my observations, I believe that the site represents an estuarine setting. I don't find any plant material here, but that doesn't mean that terrestrial critters might not show up.

 

I have my own opinions about the piece, but let me know what you think!
