I found this strange fossil near Sand Springs on the Arkansas River of Northeast Oklahoma back in 2013 or so. I was told by multiple sources that it appears to be a chunk of seabed. Is this from the Devonian/Mississippian period? Can anyone ID any of the fossils on this piece? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! I have a few other specimens I would love to identify as well! :)) ~Noah Benzing

Hello Fossil Forum!, I'm new here so I guess I'll just throw this one out. Found in Sand Springs (just outside of Tulsa, Northeastern Oklahoma) on the ancient Arkansas River (Mississippian/Pennsylvanian). http://www.ogs.ou.edu/StatemapOGQ/OGQ-79_Sand_Springs_24K.pdf I've been gradually exposing whatever these things are using light applications of heavily diluted muratic/hydrochloric acid and dishwashing soap gently lathered-in with a soft toothbrush. It's taken quite some time to get it to this phase of the "preparation"... but I'm curious, I'm seeing more than just one type of organism present on this piece. Could someone perhaps enlighten me with a dose of comprehensively accurate insight? I would be ever grateful as I value your thoughts. ~Noah Benzing
