Hi everyone I found this a few years ago in Benton county on top of a hill. It's just full of tiny little sea creatures. I was wondering about how old it is.
Thanks

Based on a quick search, Benton County has Ordovician, Devonian, and Mississippian Period marine fossils.  So this covers a lot of time periods, and the fossil's age depends on exactly where you found them.  I would suggest that you google:
"Benton county" Arkansas fossils stratigraphy. 
Put quotes around Benton county.  If you look through the websites that come up from this search, you may be able to narrow the age down based on what part of the county these came from.

Fossils are so freaky!
I pick up things that are fossilized that I would never pick up if it were alive! Grin
