A few Missouri unknowns

Recommended Posts

These are some of my new finds from a roadcut in Fenton Missouri that I recently heard about.  I mostly find crinoid pieces (including a few Platycrinites), fenestrate bryozoans and some Archimedes.  I'm not sure what the larger fossil is in the first picture.  I'm thinking a plate of a large crinoid but I'm probably wrong.  The next two I'm not convinced are worth noting.  I don't know if they're part of a calcite vein/geode-like structure or very weathered fossils.

Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!
