It was a beautiful 53 degree day today and I decided to take a 155 mile round trip to Oregon, Illinois. The purpose of the trip was to collect a road cut that exposes the Middle Ordovician, Platteville Group / Miffin member fossils. @connorp was nice enough to give me the location to this 1/2 mile collection site in Ogle County. I had fun checking out this area, but it will probably be my own time visiting this site and not for any particular reason. There is plenty places to park along the road, but this area can be tricky for people who are not sure-footed and children, as the scree on the hillside can move easily, there is also a deep drainage hole located towards the middle of the collecting area and some of the cliff face is unstable. SCREE- Drainage Hole- Unstable Walls- Here are some other pictures of the area. Fossils to follow in next post-

On Sunday I went to a road cut in Ogle County, Illinois that exposes the Middle Ordovician, Platteville Group / Miffin member fossils. The below piece is something that I am having trouble identifying. Per @minnbuckeye request, I hope that these pictures are better. Any help with an ID would be appreciated.
