I would rather identify most any fossil other than petrified wood! Not a botanist, so when I referred to my ancient copies of Gems & Mineral magazines from March to August of 1960 and read Virginia Page's "How to Identify Fossil Wood", I got lost in a hurry. I'm trying to identify wood from the Cretaceous in Southeast Missouri at Crowley's Ridge. I have a polished cross-section image and am hoping someone can identify it for my fossil database. I don't have a longitudinal section, but could do one if that is necessary.

Could this be a sponge? Note the radial structure and the occasional branching rods. Collected in Missouri, but location and age are unknown. Also, the specimen is sawn to 3/4" thick and the fossil doesn't extend into the sawn area! There is a lot of tiny crinoidal hash in the matrix rock. The light blue grid is one inch.

Greetings! I'm retired from a geospatial career, a geology major who did most of my collecting from the 1950s through the early 1990s. My collection is a disappointment to kids who want to see dinosaur fossils - it is 99% invertebrates and plants. For decades, I relied on paper notes, but am now cataloging using Trilobase. I am up to 1,800 specimens, but some catalog number represent dozens of individual species and some specimens (i.e. amber) have up to 67 catalog numbers for individual bugs, plant material, etc. I still have a lot to learn, thus my participating in Fossil Forum and other fossil sites. But I hope to be able to reciprocate by helping others whenever I am able.

I found this in southeast Missouri in a layer of thick reddish clay in a transitional soil area with a light gray gravel.

Does anyone know, where are there some fossi collecting sites around Cape Girardeau? I live in Perryville and someone on here several months back said that there were some sites around Cape Girardeau, but I've no idea were. Please can someone help. Thank you

I am not a specialist in any way. My son found this rock digging in our driveway. He is super excited and I am curious to see what the professionals identify it as.

It's been three weeks since I made the move from Texas to Missouri. During that time, I've been extremely busy trying to get the old homestead back in shape (new roof, bebuilding the barn, new doors on the house, cleaning out the basement and garage of almost 30 years of my parents being pack rats, etc.). I'm still in the process of unpacking and unfortunately much of my paleo literature is stored in the basement until I can set up my "man cave", so I'm not sure exactly what formation these are. Today I decided to take a break from working and check out a couple of outcrops I had noticed in the area. With outcrops of this size, they're not hard to notice. I wasn't able to find any indication of fossils, but it felt good to be out and exploring again.
