[jggordo]

Hi, can somebody help identity this fossil. Found while agate hunting in Dassel,Minnesota. Thank you,Jim

Welcome.

You have found a type of tabulated coral. The name escapes me at the moment.

It hints at being a piece of a recepticulite, though coral is a possibility too. Where was it found?

Welcome to the forum!

I'm not certainly, but I agree with fossilized6s.

Here is another one from the same gravel pit in meeker county. I have found several in the last 2 weeks. Hope this helps. Thanks you all for the help.

Was found in meeker county, minnesota

[Guguita2104]

What's the age of the layers?

[jggordo]

Oh, man I know very little on rocks/minerals/fossils. I know our area contains lots of glacial till, many fossils, agates can be found and ore

[jggordo]

Here is another holy fossil from same gravel pit

[jggordo]

And another, this one looks like a body of marine crustacean, with 10 x loupe I can make body out better

[jggordo]

All were found in same gravel pit. I do find nice agates as well.

I'm with minnbuckeye: I think the firs two are receptaculitids. And that last one might be a bivalve impression.

I think Mike got it right. First two pictures look to me like a Recepticulite ( fossil algae) Here is a picture of one I just got from Minnesota.
