saki007 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 The members of The Fossil Forum inspired me and gave me the confidence to venture forth from my comfortable Ste. Genvieve backyard into the unknown. I found a Bangor Limestone site & a big first for me- something I have always wanted to find. If I may paraphrase Shakespeare: not a very pretty (or complete) thing, but mine own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kehbe Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 shoot, Missouri's state fossil is the crinoid and I haven't even found one of those yet! :greenwnvy: It's on my list! Super stuff you got there! Gratz! It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.

Boneman007 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 They call that a crinoid crown! Be happy with that one! In 20 year, I may have some incredible stuff, but I have never found a crinoid crown! Congratuflippinations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
