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. Obviously, there was some deterioration before it began to mineralize, and one end is missing which makes it very hard to ID. Any help or suggestions is much appreciated! I can take and add more photos if anyone wants, just let me know what angles, etc. Thanks!

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
