Arkansas Trace Fossil Burrow Identification

Trace Fossil Burrow is a realistic Arkansas fossil profile built around tube or tunnel made by ancient invertebrates in soft sediment. 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.
