Since today is our anniversary, my husband indulged me by spending the day hunting for fossils with me in the creek surrounding our property. (Mississippian, St. Louis Limestone & Warsaw Limestone) We found several little things, including this rock which I initially thought was a concretion. On closer examination, it appears to be some type of fossil. Can anyone identify it for me? Thanks.

Sponge in a concretion, methinks. :)

Happy anniversary! 

Nice hubby! 

Oh, neat! I never would’ve guessed it was a sponge. :wacko: Thank you! And yeah, he is a keeper! :wub:

I do not see anything identifiable, so will go with a concreation.

Could be a sponge, but not a coral.

Gotcha. Lol, I now have three differing ids. :shrug:Thank you though! :)

Sometimes it goes that way.

Wait for others and see if We can bump it up to 5 or 6 IDs.

And?  What did we learn?  See, I will undoubtably be wrong but you learned it the way I did :rofl:

The main thing I learned was that my favorite finds are usually the hardest for me to identify. :wacko: :rofl:
