From the album: Missouri Trilobites
One of the smaller specimines, but that just makes for better details! Found this little guy in what I call the upper Winterset Limestone member from the Dennis Formation. This pygidium less than 5mm. -

Samurai posted a topic in Fossil ID
All of these are from the Winterset Limestone Formation and dated to the Pennsylvanian period Found in Missouri I found this in a rock that was completely covered in these structures and had many layers to them Here are a few I decided to take home with me Natural color in daylight (measurements are in the last photo of this specimen): Specimen #2- 19 replies

Over a year ago when I was just starting to hunt and collect fossils I came across this the ravine slope of a creek that cuts through the Winterset limestone at my old house. It could be washed from another formation. It looked interesting so I kept it and have been trying since then to identify it. I’m not sure if I’ve landed on the right thing – or even if it’s a fossil but I am thinking it might be a beekite ring similar to the one here https://lakeneosho.org/Paleolist/99/index.html only more 3D. It’s also quite possible it’s just quarts and I’ve just looked at it too long! However I’m curious what y’all think? Thanks!

Hi Everyone, I found this specimen a while back and have been trying to identify it but have been unsuccessful. Its from a layer of shale within the Winterset Limestone, Kansas City group, Upper Pennsylvanian, Carboniferous. Scale in mm. I flaked it off a bigger piece that had bivalves in it which I'll post below. The depth of the flake is about 1/4th of an inch (6.35mm) thick. The fossil doesn’t carry through to either side of the flake. The piece at the top is the same specimen just what came apart when I cracked it. At the moment my guess is that it might be a bivalve of some sort but I can't find any that look similar. Here are some other bivalve species that were in the same section. The color difference is from me scrubbing it with a brush which removed the gray matrix. Any feedback is much appreciated as I can't find anything close.

Good morning all!- hope you are all healthy! I found these foraminifera (my first!!!) on April 20, but took my time fishing them out of some limestone, then meticulously cleaning and prepping them. Thanks to Clear Lake for suggesting, in my first post that it looks similar to Ozawainella ciscoensis-really appreciate it! They were all found in winterset limestone in Kansas City. Researching numerous references, I found it is far more complicated identifying them, so I'll send them to someone with more expertise in i.d.s! , and am leaving them as simply Foraminifera. I i.d. them under a dissecting scope, then used 30 gauge needles to loosen them with applications of vinegar, then washed them in alternating vinegar and water, then placed them on blue clay to make them stick in place. The best one has 4 views. Just received my digital microscope and love it!! So simple and easy to use! My previous post stated it measured 458um or so, but I used the wrong objective- all of these are 860-900um in diameter. I went ahead and placed them on the fossil of the month, only because I haven't seen a lot of images on them in the forum (though I'm still looking through ).Thoughts and suggestions appreciated, and thanks for making me feel like a kid again! Hope you enjoy!- The beauty of some things simply cannot be appreciated unless you look closely!!!! Bone
