Oklahoma Blastoid Identification

Blastoid is a realistic Oklahoma fossil profile built around bud-shaped echinoderm with petal-like ambulacra preserved in limestone. In this state, success usually comes from learning Mississippian limestones, chert gravels, and shale roadcuts, then timing runoff, reservoir drawdown, surf cuts, or road work that exposes fresh fossil-bearing rock instead of hunting blindly.
