313-million-year-old jawbone of an ass
Hammer time! But this is part of a crinoid or other echinoderm & the visible part is only about 1 mm long. Reddish-brown & with sediment welded to it--it sat out on the sea floor for quite some time. Tuscumbia Limestone, Mississippian, subsurface Walker Co., Alabama.

Part of a clam, or a close relative, diagonally across the middle. The green is not Jello, but glauconite, a very pretty mineral that forms sometimes in seafloor sediments. From an ancient continental slope, now in western Alabama.
