These photos are of what appears to be a large fossil found in my hometown in Hughes County, Oklahoma. I have not seen them in person, but I trust the person who posted the photos. The rock is large and initially looks like a spine, but I know that concretions can be misleading, too. I am going to reach out to him and try to find out if it was found near a current water source or not, if that helps. Thanks!

Sunday the 26th I took part in a DPS field trip to a plant site in Oklahoma. The locality is in the Savanna Shale which is Pennsylvanian Period, Desmonian (Desmoinesian) stage, 306-308 mya.

Found these near Lake Tenkiller. I am very new to this and just curious if I have something worth keeping or if my imagination is getting the best of me. I have a lot more to post but these look like the most interesting. I'm mostly interested in seeing if this writing is from Native Americans near the area

Looking for advice about finding unprepped Oklahoma trilobites
kmmerwick posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
I know members can't mention specific businesses on the forum. So, what would be the best way for me to find quarries in OK that may sell unprepped trilobites. I've been tearing up the internet and am having a hard time finding contact info for places like this. Is there a, "directory" of sorts that would help me with my search? Thanks in advance! -
Hello everyone, I moved from North Central Arkansas to just north of Tulsa in December. I explored downtown Tulsa in the Arkansas River but only found a brachiopod. I also found a few HUGE crinoid stems yesterday and what I think are root casts. If anyone lives nearby, Im definitely needing some pointer on locations and some friends would be nice too lol. Thanks

Trying to locate a site recommended by a group we met today outside Waurika, OK...
AgainstAllAuds posted a topic in Questions & Answers
Hello! This is a long shot and will probably read more like a Craigslist "missed connections" ad, but I figured it was worth a shot! My husband and I were on a road cut looking for fossils today (Feb 27) between Randlett and Waurika, Oklahoma. A group stopped and asked if we were fossiling and we all ended up having a great chat. Y'all had come from the Whiteside Museum of Natural History Permian Fest and were headed further south into Texas. I believe y'all were associated with the American Museum of Natural History... we didn't exchange names (why?? haha) but y'all pointed us to a fossil hunting site and put it into my husbands map. We never found it! So if by some miracle one of you see this, we would love to try and find the place again. Thank you for the directions (even though we clearly didn't follow them) and for looking at some of our finds and sharing some of yours!-

Found inside of another rock when smashed outside of the Kiamichi mountains. Done the lick fossil test and it sucked saliva from the spot. What could it be? Aprx 2 1/2” tall 1 3/4in wide and 3/4” thick. Softer than quartz.

I took my family on a cross country trip and to do some overlanding in the desert. We stopped in Oklahoma to look for rose rocks around a lake. While taking pictures, I noticed this unique formation and the more I looked at it, it just seemed to look like a fossil of some sort. It was massive. I'm posting here to hopefully get some input.

Hello from Oklahoma! I buy most of my fossils mainly teeth, but I'm looking forward to getting out and find more myself! I mainly find Native American artifacts on my outings my friends don't seem much interested in rockhounding, so I'll have to show off my finds to you all!

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

Hey everyone, I've been trying to plan a little trip for me and my family to go on a little fossil hunt. I live in Bartlesville Oklahoma and I have several nice places I can go to find fossils all over. Mainly mississippian and Pennsylvanian. I'm looking for areas within an hour or so drive from where I live. I'm aware of the pliestocene finds in the arkansas river in tulsa area. I'd love for someone to send me maps or geologic surveys showing what areas in the topography, and other recomendations. Places I've been to worth noting: Kaw Lake spillway, Ponca City (good shells everywhere) Bartlesville Mound (excellent source of Chrinoids and some bits of coral) Hudson lake (Bartlesville water source, 1- chrinoid calyx found, tons of bivalves and other shells) Turkey Creek, Bartlesville (uncountable amounts of horn coral)

As y'all know, I love photographing my fossils almost as much as I love finding them. So of course, I have to do a Year in Review of my best fossil finds! I seem to be averaging about 150 best finds a year....not too shabby methinks! Hope y'all all had a great fossiliferous 2022 and that 2023 is EVEN BETTER

Hello everybody I am a bit worried about the fossil I show. We got it many years ago and do not know much about it. As I remember it should come from Oklahoma, Permian. Reptiles. That´s it , nothing more. In my brain are some reminds name could starts with "R" for the Animal, but... What do you think? thanks for support!

Muskogee, Ok USA. Could these be conostichus or something else? I have found many in sandstone but never in shale. These were found about 20' below where I normally find the sandstone conostichus. I am including a picture of some sandstone conostichus for comparison. Would the shale ones be older since they were found in the hard blue shale 20' deeper? Thanks for your help.

Muskogee, Ok USA While expanding a pond came across this. It reminds me of a trilobite. It is still in the bottom, hoping to get some help with ID. Thank you.

Hey everyone, I've been recently reading through Mark McKinzie's book, Oklahoma Fossil Localities. It's got tons of useful information and has been inspiring me to plan out some future trips across the red river once I'm back in DFW. Hunting for Permian micros in Waurika is at the top of my list, but I have a few questions about the main site and surrounding road cuts. If anyone could reach out to me via PM to discuss Waurika, I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks

ID help. Crustacean, mollusk, or something else? Upper carboniferous.
Gramps posted a topic in Fossil ID
I have found several of these in an outcropping of shale and limestone in the Iola Formation in Northeastern Oklahoma (middle Pennsylvanian). The longest dimension is about 15 mm (≈ 5/8 inch). Some of the other specimens are slightly larger, but all have the same pattern of bumps. (I photographed this one because it shows the least wear.) I’m wondering it might be the carapace of a phyllocarid or some other crustacean. Alternatively, it might be a bivalve or other mollusk. Any help with ID would be appreciated. Focus and exposure were difficult, so there are several images. Best wishes.- 2 replies

Hello all, I recently purchased this fragment of a limb bone of a reptile, which was labeled 'unidentified.' I was wondering if it would be possible to find out what it is, as it is really minuscule. Fossil Info: The fossil is 1.2cm long. According to the seller, it is from the Lower Permian, from the Leonardian Series. It was found in Lawton, Oklahoma, and the formation is the Arbuckle Group. I don't know if this is enough to go on since because of the small size. Thanks!

I arrived in Texas yesterday for my mom's funeral. As I drove through Missouri and Oklahoma, I was amazed at the roadside geology (I've never traveled this route before.) I didn't have time to stop on the way here, but I may on my drive back to Michigan. I'm curious as to what to expect to find, if I get the chance to do a little hunting.

Hello, I found this in a microfossil sample from Waurika, Oklahoma, which is the lower Permian. I was unable to match it with anything apart from Dimetrodon or Edaphosaurus claws. I'm likely just being hopeful, but compared to teeth from the same site, it would appear to have no enamel. Could this be a claw from one of these? It's extremely small, about 2.5mm across. Thank you
