Why were you a smart ass in this
reply.
A little bit of etiquette would could go a long
way, why put somebody down needlessly.

I can use help on the identification
of a fossil collected on a class field trip this past weekend. The
photo is at: http://tigger.uic.edu/~plotnick/LoneStarQuarryFossil.jpg.
The scale, top to bottom of the image, is about 2 cm. Locality
is in Northern Illinois, from the LaSalle Cyclothem, upper
Modesto Fm. - lower Bond Formation; Age: Upper Pennsylvanian, Missourian
(Stephanian). Typical Pennsylvanian mid-continent fauna, lots of
Composita.
It's probably in the category of "oh yeah, I
should have known that," but I don't embarrass easily. -
Some kind of conulariid. --
