I Call It Butt Rock :)


Recommended Posts

Though I'm sure its some kind of fossil. On the back of the rock there are a few tiny crinoid stem imprints. I couldn't get my camera to focus in them. Found in Jackson Missouri in someone's flower garden actually. They had bought rocks to fill in so who knows the actual location this come from. Any input if appreciated. ~Nez

I agree with the brachiopod. ID. I"m far from an expert but it looks like a fairly distinctive Silurian form, Pentamerus . A nearly identical specimen can be found at this link.
