Can Fossiliferous Gravel And Rock Be Ordered Or Delivered...
Clayton Jones posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Here in central Oklahoma, fossils are scarce, all we have is red dirt and blank sandstone. I know of a great many people living here that would love to go fossil hunting, but don't know where to go, not to mention that you have to own or know somebody that owns land to hunt on within the state and that land is probably not close by. I've had an idea for a while to try to get fossiliferous stone delivered somewhere nearby so that people in my area can go fossil hunting instead of traveling several hours away. I've heard of museums and mines that dump their leftovers out for the public to sift through and I'd love to be able to bring the fossils to the people here in my area. How hard would it be to have a dumptruck worth of fossiliferous gravel delivered to somewhere here in central Oklahoma? -
i smash open a rock from my yard and found these inside. are they oolites?

this one is interesting. it appears to be a mold or burrow cast of some sort (i have collected many rocks with a similar shape), but the texture is unique. the 2" long rock appears to be embedded with hundreds of 1mm or less bumps, colored brown, grey and white. does anyone know what these are? 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.
