Nonconnah creek Shelby county TN

Recommended Posts

I spent about an hour digging a cut bank of Nonconnah creek in south Shelby county along the Mississippi Tennessee border just south of Memphis. I was told not to get my hopes up, but I think I may have found a few fossils! The item marked 3 is cylindrical and about 1cm long. I'm not sure about the large item with the pen cap for scale. The entire thing is about the size of a baseball, wasn't sure if the hole on top was just that, or possibly an eye of sort. (Same item is photographed from the back as well)

You put this on the other thread as well, so I will put my IDs here again

1-brachiopod, or possibly really worn horn coral

2-brachiopod imprint

3-horn (rugose) coral

4- colonial coral

Happy hunting,
