    I don't know what this is, Wes. It's probably marine Mississippian in origin and age. You could start your search there.

    You can remove the matrix, but it won't be easy. You'll need a pneumatic scribe to chip away at it. You have a nice display specimen already; I wouldn't do anything to it.

    Hello DeAnn. Thanks for the guess. I googled calamite and found some info and pics and
    I think your right its either calamite or a close cousin. I really appreciate your responce.
