Crowley’s Ridge Marine Fossils?

Recommended Posts

These were recently found by a close relative of mine on one of the highest points on Crowley’s Ridge in NE Arkansas.  Not found in or beside a creek or gravel pit but all were found within close proximity of each other.  Thanks for any advice or comments you can add!

Preserved burrows, methinks

Now this is an interesting one!  Crinoid calyx?  Horn coral?

Views of the other sides of the second, third, fourth and fifth item would be helpful.

 

I see a Favosites type coral under your thumb in the second item picture.

 

The first item I think may be branching bryozoans or corals. Close up pictures of them would help determine this.

 

The others look like gastropod imprints, but the fourth item may be geologic in origin.
