Kansas Fossils

[Kristin Hoffpauer]

Here are a few fossils I found a couple of years ago in Kansas, and I'd really like help identifying them! I found them in Riley County, KS in the Flint Hill area. The geological information is as accurate as I could be. I'm not the most educated in this field, so the information is from geological maps of the area.

 

The first pictured fossils I found in Terrace Deposits or Glacial-Fluvial.

 

The following two fossils were found in "Wolfcampian age with the Pennsylvanian/Permian boundary placed at the base of the underlying Admire Group." (According to what info I could find).

I couldn't put the last picture! Here it is!

Hi Kristin.

 

Flint Hills are a great place for fossils. The first photo looks like the Turritella, a marine(salt water) gastropod. Second photo may be same type on it's side.  The third photo is a productid brachiopod, also a marine creature.

 

Here is some info on the area where you found these. http://www.kgs.ku.edu/Current/2006/sawin/sawin.pdf

Thanks a bunch! I'm glad I can add that info to my collection
