VickyRenee Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 I think this is a snake head? I found it in northwest Missouri around Grand River. It's approx 1.5" long, 1.25" wide (widest point) and head area is .5" tall. It is rock with some quartz in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClearLake Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Cmon, you're pulling our leg, aren’t you?? Haha. This is very obviously a coral. It is a fossil though! Thanks for posting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, that’s fine, we love to have new folks come here willing to learn new stuff. Yes, this is a coral. The first three pictures show the cross section where you can see the tabulae. The fourth picture shows the top where you can see the individual living chambers.
