ajaxkdt Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 I live in New Orleans but I found these visiting family in the lake of the Ozarks Missouri. I think they are cool but I would like to know what I may have. Any help will be appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajaxkdt Posted June 24, 2018 Author Share Posted June 24, 2018 So on the second picture, could that be a little bone in the middle? Any clue about the third? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Not likely a bone in the second picture - probably a cross-section of shell material.

Bone seems unlikely to me also. I think the gastropod shells may have had larger whorls that were fragmented during deposition. My thought is that it is somehow related to that. The last one may be an external mold of a gastropod that is just barely preserved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
