Though the exterior looks very similar. Smithville,TN has an abundance of marine fossils and this was collected alongside a great many specimen species. Sponges, brachia, pods, and crinoids. We’re all collected within 1 foo…[Read more]

Could have been a dry period. That would explain the gaps. It could have came from somewhere higher and fell among the other fossils. It just looks to cave like to me.
I checked amongst Google images, there are also a few examples with gaps like uiyrs
