Iowa Devonian fossil references

Hello all,

 

I am looking for good reference material to identify fossils I picked up at Rockford, IA.  I haven't been able to find a really good publication that covers the majority of what is find-able in Iowa's Devonian deposits and I'm hoping you can point me in the right direction.

 

Thanks!

After much more diving down hyperlink rabbit holes I finally found a nicely extensive publication on the fossils around Rockford, IA.  It is "Stratigraphy and fauna of the Hackberry Stage of the upper Devonian" and you can snag a copy here: https://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/handle/2027.42/48166.

 

Thank you both for your suggestions!
