5 months, 1 week ago5 months, 1 week agoI’d really like to find a definitive answer for this specimen. It has been bugging me for a while now. The specimen post to the right of this post is also mine, and these were collected as as side-by-side. Take a look.

5 months, 1 week ago5 months, 1 week agoIdon’t think so. It was a feature of an Mississippian fossil reef. The vertical lines do not match stalagmite growth rings. 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

sorry like yours. Some were also as lightly coloured as your specimen. I think youve made a good call and you have an excellent specimen.
