2022- Southern Illinois Earth Science Club Show
Nimravis posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
On my way back from picking up my wife in Georgia, I stopped in Marion, Illinois to attend the Southern Illinois Earth Science Club Show. The show runs for 2 days, 4-9-22 and 4-10-22. A lot of people attend this show and I attended in the past. I will state, that I would have been disappointed if I drove the 5 1/2 hours to just attend this show, due to the lack of fossils. I will post some of the fossils that were for sale, but nothing struck my fancy. The best part of the show was looking at some Pennsylvanian plant fossils that were collected a few miles from Carterville, Illinois. Pics of the show- Fossils for sale-- 9 replies

Southern Illinois Earth Science Club Rock / Mineral / Fossil Show
Nimravis posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
While driving thru Marion, Illinois ( 5 1/2 hours South of Chicago) I decided to stop for 1 hour at the Southern Illinois Earth Science Club Show that is going on today and tomorrow. I have never been to this show and I was pleasantly surprised by it. It was a great show that had a lot of people that showed up. This show had a Kids Corner, Flint Knapping, Sifting for Minerals, Demonstrations and Exhibits. There was a wide range of items for sale at good prices. If you ever have a chance to be in Southern Illinois during April, check to see if this show is going and stop by, you won’t be disappointed. Below are pics of the show and some of the items that were being sold. I do have to mention an exhibit of Pennsylvanian Plants from Carterville, Illinois shaft mines. I have to say that they are some of the prettiest ferns that I have ever seen, in my opinion, better than the ones found at Mazon Creek.- 29 replies
