Arkansas Gastropod Shell Fossil Identification
Gastropod Shell Fossil is a realistic Arkansas fossil profile built around spiraled snail shell fossil preserved in limestone, sandstone, or marl. 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.
