bug!? from northern Okla.

Is this a bug abdomen? We find a lot of plant stems here, but this looks different...so ..is it a bug?




Thanks for looking,

I cannot tell for sure what it may be, but it sure is interesting. Cool Find!

It reminds me of a rattlesnake rattle, but it you're right it does look like the underside of a beetle.

Now that's an interesting one.
It definitely looks like a section of a creature that moved without legs..by the plates on what appears to me to be the underside.

I have't been able to find it on the internet, maybe now that it's bumped someone can help...

I am trying now

It kinda looks like one of my fossils, Lisa. I posted it a few years back on this forum and was told mine could be a cephalopod.

It does carmin, Thanks..I'll bet that's it

i was thinking it looks like this picture which is showing that extinct ammonites could be straight..
