Never hunted fossils but i find them and lots along the river so many that I rarely give a second look but after learning so much from the site, md-ing arrow head, relic I would love to know what these fosils are and formost would you pick up and collect (perhaps the more important issue) ........Cumberland river Ky/ near Tenn border, also other low areas the fossils I find, are as perfectly shaped and round as a piece of pipe or pencil, usually diameter 3/4 inch (perhaps a little less) in diameter and smaller, about 1/2 an inch long generally, with rings around them or groves. IM hoping they are so common here abouts you will most likely have a thought as to what they are, secondly my digital camera which I can download and when I try to post they say pics are to large have you a clue on a usuer friendly site to make them smaller so I can post thanks
 

The fossils that you describe could be crinoid stems.

They are nice fossils but relatively common.

Hey, When I downsize photographs, shoot at the largest size your camera will do (don't zoom in), take it into Adobe Photoshop and use the marquee tool and place it around what you want to reduce. Now go to edit in the drop down menu and do a copy. Now go to files drop down and do a new and hit enter when it comes up. Go back to edit and hit paste, go to the layers floating menu and right click on the on the top photo in this menu (it will be above a blank one) and scroll down the menu that you just brought up and click on flatten image. Now go to the filter drop down menu at the top of the page and go down to sharpen and do it, then go to the image drop down menu and click on image size, a new menu will come up and you will see a box come up change the width and hit enter. You will now go to the files drop down menu and do a save as and save it as a .jpg once that menu comes up just hit enter and your done.
