🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Stumped crazy find???

[catfishjim90]

Found this basketball size Conglomerate piece of limestone. I think it has seashells and petrified wood. I found this on the Missouri river in the Saint Charles Missouri area. Can anybody out there? Tell me what type of fossils and age they are.? And could this mix of fossils have been created by a cataclysmic flood? Any info would be greatly appreciated. All the best, catfish

Looks like pieces of wood trapped in the matrix, and fossilized. Probably Cretaceous period or newer. Nice find.

Interesting chunk of rock. I would say it's fossilized marine detritus, possibly from a reef accumulation. Much of the fossil material is unidentifiable bur i can see several partial brachiopod shells and a small patch of fenestrate bryozoan material, so it's definitely marine in origin,
