Silurian Cephalopod

Here is another Dawsonoceras annulatum imprint in a rock that is part of stone wall. I wish I had a ruler to measure it but I think it might have been about 24 cm long. It appears to have 19 sections.

Found at KYANA fossil study.

Multi-Stem Crinoid

At the last KYANA fossil study, I found this multi-stem Mississippian period crinoid. That is one condensed group of crinoid arms in one place!

This one was found in the Lake Cumberland, Kentucky area.
