Some Crinoids, Cephalopods, and even maybe a plant. Nice!

The pic wshw1 looks like it might be a fossil of a horsetail plant and the one marked tree fossil looks like it might be a nice piece of stigmaria.

wshw1looked like wood. I will have to look up horsetail plant. The one marked tree fossil looked like a Lycopsids to me. There was lots of stigmaria and bryozoan present in the area as well. The one marked fossil2 I think is a stalactite. I found it with the one marked cavedebris in a pool inside a cave today.

Dug this out of a clay formation. Lots of coal in the area. I think it is Lycopsids as well.

Everything today came from the Snowball Quad in Searcy County Ar. The ones from the clay formation are from the Arkansas River Valley along the Illinois Bayou in Pope County, Ar.

I cropped the picture Las Vegas Bob so you can see it better. I have a lot to learn on fossils.

Sorry Las Vegas Bob I'm losing it. Stigmaria and Lycopsids are one and the same basically. Now I can't remember what else there was in large amounts along with the bryozoan.
