He also found several pieces of bone and some limestone shell molds. The length of this piece is 33cm. My carpenter, Earl Porter, found out I was interested in fossils and brought this to me. He had received it from his grandfather and did not know where it came from originally. I live in southeast Missouri and find these nautiloids, petrified nuts, wood, bulbs and other unknown fossils near my home in a bluff that is about 25 ft. high.
Scale is in centimeters.
The one thing we know for sure is the fact that there is bone in this piece, but my husband seems to think it may also contain two skull fragments. This piece is also full of crystallizing through out it. Would appreciate any help with this piece. If you have an idea of what this is, please go to the Message Board with the fossil identification number and the information you want to contribute. If you have any references for the information, please provide that, as well.
