Hello! I went fossil hunting with my brother and found a tooth shaped cone! We live in rock county of Luverne Minnesota, about 30 minutes away from Sioux Falls South Dakota. We went to a local river nearby that has a sandy riverbank with lots of different kinds of rocks. We have found a lot of small fossils of shells and some coral-like shapes. I found it near the water where it likely washed up. I assumed it was maybe a coral piece because I don’t know anything about teeth. But Google shows a lot of similar images from both teeth and some coral. I’m just not sure how to go about narrowing down what it is. It has distinct circular rings (like a tree) on the top. The pointy end appears to be broken or chipped. It appears to be just about 3 centimeters long. As much as we both want it to be a cool tooth or something we’re just assuming it’s coral, we really have no idea! Thanks for any help or advice! I can answer more questions and take more pictures if necessary!

I have a question for you guys/gals. These are just a couple of Crinoids imprints and fossils that I obtained in south western Tennessee and north western tip of Georgia. I know there Crinoids and the other is a coral. Unless yawl think otherwise, let me know. And What I am trouble with is trying to identify the period. I see some postings with periods being:Devonian,some say Cambrian, and some say jurassic. I would like to keep a journal about what I found, but I would like to list more the "crinoid" and/or Coral. Any help would be great! Either to identify these to, or share with me how to find out with some specificity how to find out myself. I know there bad pictures, but it's more trying to find out how to classify them, or learn what classification is. Thanking you in advance, Joe
