Nez Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 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
dragonsfly Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Nez, Crinoid cup(s) ? Maybe try to remove some of the surrounding rock with a dremel, engraving tool or careful chisel ifayougotteedemz. John
Nez Posted February 22, 2015 Author Posted February 22, 2015 I looked that up and it does resemble crinoid cups if you eye it right. And I do have a dremel tool, good idea! Why didn't I think of that ur awesome thanks!

fossilized6s Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 It looks like a internal mold of a brachiopod.

Nez Posted February 23, 2015 Author Posted February 23, 2015 Ah I know I'm sorry haha when I do something I kinda go nuts
Nez Posted February 23, 2015 Author Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) That's all unless there's a geode and crystal forum, then... yikes Edited February 23, 2015 by Nez
amour 25 Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Cool looks good,hope you find out what is.Looks like limestone to me. Jeff
Tethys Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 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.
Nez Posted February 23, 2015 Author Posted February 23, 2015 Ah! Wow your right this is so cool. I found this in a friends flower bed rocks, I'm going to go look for more! Thanks
