2 years, 10 months ago2 years, 10 months agoGreetings @a-trilobite ! Pending @mark-breads collected this from Kansas City Group sediments then its seems logical that his specimen is a brachiopod. KCG is principally Mississippian in age. It could be bivalve, but I’m leaning towards brachiopod because of the age of the sediments.

2 years, 11 months ago2 years, 11 months agoGreetings @mark-breads ! This is a unique specimen for sure. My best guess is that it is a trilobite or similar arthropod.

3 years, 1 month ago3 years, 1 month agoGreetings @mark-breads !!! The coloration and translucency of this specimen lead me to think it possibly a scapula from a small modern vertebrate. @james-preston might be able to help.

3 years, 1 month ago3 years, 1 month agoGreetings @mark-breads ! I do not believe so. If you collected this in Kansas City strata again, then unfortunately dinosaurs are not fauna which you can expect to collect. The Kansas City Group is +/- 100 million before the rise of the dinosaurs.

3 years, 1 month ago3 years, 1 month ago@mark-breads Most of your specimens you have posted have been almost exclusively marine, which is consistent the inferred paleo-environment of the Kansas City Group. Thus, a fenestrate bryozoan seems a more plausible ID.

3 years, 1 month ago3 years, 1 month agoGreetings @mark-breads ! I do not believe this is a bryozoan. It could be a coral, but its frankly difficult to tell.
