MSirmon Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Found this piece while digging into the hillside behind the house near lake Wister in Southeast Oklahoma. The area is primarily Pennsylvanian and I have found some beautiful specimens on the land. There are a lot of limestone and sandstone ledges and outcroppings all over the property. I do t see any tooling marks on the edges so believe the shape is natural but not sure what the texturing is. Any help would be appreciated.

Mark Kmiecik Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Leaning heavily towards inorganic, but it wouldn't hurt to see the edges. 1 Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abyssunder Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 I would go with the latter.
