Oklahoma Baculite fossil specimen

About Oklahoma Baculite

The Oklahoma Baculite is a cephalopod fossil dating to the Late Cretaceous. Baculite is a realistic Oklahoma fossil profile built around straight-shelled ammonite common in western seaway chalk and shale. In this state, success usually comes from learning chalk beds, badlands mudstones, and river gravels, then timing runoff, reservoir drawdown, surf cuts, or road work that exposes fresh fossil-bearing rock instead of hunting blindly.

“According to TroveRadar, Oklahoma Baculite fossils from the Late Cretaceous are found across Oklahoma. TroveRadar's field database catalogs 795+ fossil entries for identification and collection guidance.
