Cincinnati Museum Center Donations
Sauropod19 posted a topic in Partners in Paleontology - Member Contributions to Science
Hi all! At last Friday’s Dry Dredgers meeting, I handed over the two Ordovician fossils below to Dr. Carl Brett for the Cincinnati Museum Center! Standard business card for scale. This coral, which I have wrongly been identifying as Favosites sp., is from the campus of Hanover College in Indiana, in their Dr. Daryl Karns trail system. This was donated with permission from the Hanover College Geology Faculty. This Treptoceras sp. comes from the US-68 road cut in Maysville, KY, Kope Formation.- 3 replies

This morning I drove from my hotel in Lawrenceburg, Indiana into Kentucky for a little collecting (more on that on a separate post), and then I driven into Cincinnati, Ohio to attend the Dry Dredgers GeoFair 2022. This is one show that I have always wanted to attend, but never had the time. This year it worked out well since I was stopping over to do some collecting on my way home from Sanibel Island. I arrived at the show at 10:00 am and there was a huge line waiting to get in, I would guesstimate 125+ people. The show was held at the Sharonville Convention Center and it runs Saturday and Sunday. Outside of the venue they have a few people selling things at the Swap Tables. I really do not know much about this, except they cannot take cash and you have to use tokens that are purchased inside to get the items. Once inside, the have to booths that are manned and they collect $10.00 per adult of $15.00 if you are going to visit both days. I do not know how much it is for children. Here are some pictures from the inside of the show. CONTINUED ON NEXT POST-

Hello everyone, My name is Mark - and I live in Cincinnati, OH. My son and I like to fish in small rivers and streams quite often. When we do this, I always find myself spending more time hunting for fossils than I spend fishing! Here in southern OH, I find tons of fossilized coral and sea creatures. If I understand it correctly - our region was once near the equator long ago - if you believe in plate tectonics or Continental drift theory etc? I also heard once that at the end of the last Ice Age a Great deal fossils were uncovered when glaciers melted or something like that? Anyone here who knows better is welcome to correct me.. Anyway, I thought it would be educational to spend some time here looking at what others find and identify, so that I may broaden my knowledge and become better at identifying fossils myself! I've attached the photo of the fossil that led me here to your forums. I also posted it in the identification section! Cheers!
