Arkansas Brachiopod fossil specimen

Arkansas Brachiopod Identification

Brachiopod is a realistic Arkansas fossil profile built around two-shelled filter feeder that dominates many Paleozoic limestone beds. 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.

  • pedicle opening
  • fine radial ribs
