this message is long so tldr we found some small invertibrates and some cervical vertebrae of an apatosaurus
OH MAN where do i start (i forgot you were a fellow rock friend) So the first day we met with alot of really cool scientists who came to be speakers, like Dr. Nick Czaplewski, who taught us basic stuff about rock formations. Day two we did a teambuilding ropes course so we'd stop standing around like we'd just met each other (which we had, 12 high-school students). Over the next few days we met several other amazing scientists like Dr. Katrina Menard, an entamologist; Tim Munson, the OERB representative; Kyle Davies, one of the lead Paleontologists, who we actually worked with IN THE LAB, we took the jacket off of a Gomphotherian tusk it was so cool. We also worked with Dr. Richard Lupia, a Paleobotanist, and got to see a fern fossil that had been stretched out immensely which was wicked cool! We went to an invertibrate paleo site called White Mound, which was like a limestone formation that was literally BURIED in fossilized brachiopods, crinoids, corals, sponges, and a couple of cephalopods and trilobites. We camped in the Wichita Mountains and in Sulphur Springs National Park. For week 2, we went to the Museum of Osteology, which is the only bone museum in the USA currently so for anyone poppin through Oklahoma its worth the stop. We went to the OKC Zoo and spent the night there, HELLA cool, i got to prt a melanistic chinchilla, a possum and a blue-tongued skink. We then drove 6 hours into the panhandle to Kenton, Oklahoma (which is as far as you can go while still being in oklahoma), aka the Black Mesa. We camped there a few nights (during which a bear raided someone's toiletry bag for their deoderant and we discovered that sloppy joes and merry-go-rounds do not mix well) and then stayed at a Bed & Breakfast at the mesa. We hiked all over, saw some giant dinosaur tracks, found the tristate divide (between Colorado, Oklahoma and New Mexico) so we technically went to two other states. We dug at a quarry there in the mesa where we uncovered turtle shell, croc bones and some gigantic cervical vertebrae of some Apatosaurus. We flipped a fossil jacket on the last day, meaning we plastered the top, undercut it with tools and flipped it over so that we could take it back to the lab; we went home after taking a hike to the top of the mesa. It was a totally unforgettable experience! Sorry for the super long message XD

Sorry for not responding sooner, had a family vacation and then PokemonGo came out sooo haha.
But I'm not really a fellow rock friend, but pretty close. I'm an Archaeologist so we don't dig down as far as you do but I'm pretty sure we used almost the same methods. This summer we have been working on two different sites. One is a possible slave village in Coosawhatchie SC and the other is a Mississippian Indian non-mound site. We found some really cool stuff at the slave site, pottery, nails, food bone, lots (and I mean lots) of broken wine bottles, and a costume jewelry ring made from brass and green and blue smooth glass. We had a scare a couple days ago while digging some shovel tests. We went through the top layer of soil and then the clay/loamy soil became oily. We didn't think anything of it as we found a few nails, ran into a shell midden and came into contact with a rather brown layer of soil. A few shovel fulls later the ball of a bone popped up in the screen. We all looked at each other thinking the same thing, human. It didn't help our grad student heading the dig mentioned that slaves for the time period were buried in wooden coffins (the really brown soil and nails) and the coffin was topped with oyster shells (the shell midden we dug through). We stopped what we were doing on that shovel test and took back the bone to our college's Zooanthroplogist, who job is to study food bone. Well after a couple of days he got back with us. Apparently the bone was only a pig knuckle and luckily enough not human. At the Indian site we found buckets upon buckets of chert, four points, and only two features. We are thinking the group who used to liver here must have stayed closer to the water, or was not there very long.
