splenderpuss Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 I have a few more here that I have been dying to ask someone about. I have a large collection from a person who was employed as a surveyor and that's about all I know as a certain. I usually start by taking pictures and asking Google but since that fails most of the time when it comes to the more obscure objects I am at a total loss, and so here I am. Thank you for your time and patience! To cut down on the number of posts Im making I have grouped a couple sets together in this one. In the first group they are both very small but the third piece in the first group is tiny and Im not sure if there's enough there for a proper I.D. And then the second group I feel like have the same amount of obscurity and so were similar enough to me. Any information at all would be great. I'm of the belief these are all from Oklahoma but I don't know what part of the state. Also I cannot find a tape that is in mm so I hope that inches are ok!? After taking these pictures Im just hoping that there's enough there for me to be asking about. 🫣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 There's no harm in checking things like this out, but I don't see any keepers here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossildude19 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 One could be a gastropod, possibly. Hard to tell. Here is what I am seeing: But without location information, it is difficult to say anything definitive about these items.

splenderpuss Posted January 26 Author Share Posted January 26 I have a ton of other gastropod fossils so I believe that is most likely. A lot of the items are very questionable but I never know what I'm looking at to begin with. I like to believe they were all collected for a reason. I found a small scrap of paper with (I think) coordinates on it but I will have to find it again to be sure. Thank you for looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's odd how finding such a simple little fossil over and over still seems so satisfying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
