Fossil Friday #54: Assortment of Mississippian Fossils - Anna, IL #fossils #mississippian #FossilFriday #brachiopods #crinoids #horncorals #blastoid #illinois

This is the "Fossil Friday" post #54.  Expect this to be a somewhat regular feature of the website.  We will post any fossil pictures you send in to esconi.info@gmail.com.  Please include a short description or story.  Check the #FossilFriday Twitter hash tag for contributions from around the world!

-----------------------------------------------------

This week we have some fossils from a road cut near Anna, IL in southern Illinois.  These fossils came out of the Haney Shale, which dates to the Mississippian Period.  These fossils are part of the donation made by Peter and Paul Kruty earlier this year.  Thanks again, guys!
