Got Bones? Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Hello fellow TFF Members! Just yesterday evening I was searching a small creek bed in Homewood, IL when I stumbled upon these two interesting finds. I am wondering if some expert could help identify them and/or tell me if there is any way of cleaning the majority of dirt off them, perhaps even tell me if I should prep them at all, because there is a strange fossil in one of the two that goes inside the limestone. Thanks!

EMP Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Last picture is a crinoid stalk. The others look like gastropods, likely a Paleozygopleura or a relative or Cyclonema. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gastropod pictured has a much lower, wider profile. Cyclonema could be a candidate.
