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

Hi everyone, I am a newbie from the Tulsa area. I've always loved looking for fossils and it's been a major part of my life. Yesterday I found a Jaw in the Arkansas River and I'm trying to ID it (age + time period). Looks Bison-ish to me (after looking for the stylid) but I am not sure. Tooth wear (M1-M3) suggest an older bovine (7-10 y/o) and this was the only piece laying on the river bed with no other piece close by. Any help is appreciated and I am very excited to have joined TFF!

First,I hope I’m not doing this wrong, but had trouble posting in Fossil ID for some reason. I hunt a several mile portion of the Arkansas River in Tulsa, Ok. I’ve previously gotten help with identification from the University of Oklahoma on a number of Bison bones, vertebrae and horns, as well as bones from smaller vertebrates. However, that’s a lengthy process, so I was hoping for suggestions on what this bone may have belonged to. It’s shiny because it’s been coated with clear enamel. I’ve had it for several years, but it just occurred to me that it’s dissimilar to my other Bison bones. Obv

Found this while hiking turkey mountain urban wilderness area in Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA. It was found next to the path among other rocks (mostly sandstone) above the Arkansas River.

I plan to be in Tulsa next week and wondered if anybody could point me to some very easy fossil sites? (roadcuts, short walk, etc). I will be there for one afternoon with another amateur fossil hunter and hoped that we might be able to find something. Anything to peak our curiosity. We're from South Louisiana, so we don't have much to choose from down here. I've been to Mineral Wells and Lake Jacksboro. I had a blast at both sites, but we can't make it over there at this time. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks, Stephen

Hello, I am nearing the end of my stay in Tulsa this summer and I was wondering if anyone knew of any good outcrop locations to go collecting at? I found one shale outcrop near Keystone Dam but I haven't been fortunate in finding anything else in the area - there just seems to not be enough relief and vegetation grows too quickly. I'm not looking for anything in particular, but teeth, trilobites, cephalopods, and brachiopods would be pretty neat. The river is running extremely high (still) and I don't see any places that I could walk the sand bars looking for artifacts and Pleistocene fossil

Well, without going into a lengthy explanation, yes, I found this in the Arkansas River about 3 feet under the bottom rocks and what we call the NTS (Nasty Toxic ..., unfortunately my rock hound playground is also a delisted superfund site). It took months to finally get it to where it's at now. About half a year in fact of fervent brushing and gentle filing with a diamond coated pen file. Acid has also played a major role but I'm at the point now where I can't risk using more lest I melt what I'm trying to reveal. Is there any readily available household remedy I can use as a protecta

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 org
