This site is a Paleontological research project based in
St. Louis, Missouri, devoted to the study of the geological
formations in Missouri. Primary focus is the study of the
geological formations in the St. Louis area.

Fossils grouped by formation

Pennsylvanian fossils
St. Louis Pennsylvanian Fossils of the Altamont Formation
The I-170 Exposure includes the fossiliferous Lake Neosho Shale Member

I-170 Pennsylvanian locality
The I-170 Pennsylvanian Exposure in St. Louis, Missouri
This link takes you to a discussion by Dr. Norman R. King, Professor of
Geology at the University of Southern Indiana, about the rocks
exposed at the I-170 highway cut. Dr. King describes the rock units
and correlates them with rock units elsewhere in the Midcontinent
region. He interprets their environments of deposition, and also places
them in the context of larger-scale geological processes taking place
in the Midcontinent region and around the globe during the
Pennsylvanian Period.

Evactinopora radiata
Evactinopora
This link takes you to a website showcasing one of the most
unusual Mississippian (early Carboniferous) fossils that occur
in the midcontinent region of North America. The fossil,
Evactinopora, a bryozoan colony, stands distinct because
of its star-shaped form.

My library is listed here to help with networking.
It is easier to refer to book, page, and plate when
others are referring to the same reference.

Fossils (Russia)
Carboniferous fossils of Russia
Produced by: Barry Sutton, Alexander Davydov and Tom Yancey
This website is presented to showcase Carboniferous fossils of the
Moscow region of Russia; an area that is world famous for beautifully
preserved fossils.

This website is presented to showcase Carboniferous fossils of the
Moscow region of Russia; an area that is world famous for beautifully
preserved fossils. This website provides an opportunity to see fossils
of those deposits that are poorly known outside Russia or have not
been illustrated with high quality photos. Some of the Late
Carboniferous (Pennsylvanian) fossils occur in both the Moscow
region and in the American midcontinent.

This web site is presented as a vehicle to provide documentation of
some important fossil sites and to provide an educational resource
for persons wanting to know more about late Carboniferous fossils.
The web site is the responsibility of Mr. Barry Sutton, Dr. Tom Yancey
and Dr. Alexander Davydov (M. D.)
