Google Scientific American Trilobite July 24 2012. It's been washed millions of times already. Probably not worth much in terms of money but a great curiosity. I'd keep it

I agree, send some pics to the university then let us know cause I'm really curious now.
Pleased do. Geologists may want to know the area in which you found it. This was a really hard shelled aquatic creature that decayed slowly and shows up everwhere in the fossil record. Don't throw it away. If you find you can't get serious money for it, give it to a high school science teacher. Really neat discovery.

It's Stigmaria root, there are a ton of them around Inola. Basically the ancient tree species rotted away and sandstone filled in that void. They are a fossil cast of the root.
