  1. I've been looking recently into possibly fossil hunting by Alton, Illinois for specimens of Mississippian era fauna. I'm specifically looking for general places like roadcuts and quarries with 330-340 million year old St. Louis Limestone (Meramec group) in the Alton area. I'm just wondering (without anyone being too specific about localities) is there any general places like quarries or roadcuts that match that description in Alton, Illinois?

    New Park opened

    Well a new park opened by me took a quick look found multiple layers of fossils. No tools to extract them. But did manage to find a lot of quartz and calcite new trip soon before they close off sections they feel are unsafe. Very large mines for cement. Found so far Silurian, Devonian. Crystallized brachiopods

    First Trip to Ernst Quarries

    Hello all my fellow fossil lovers! This is my first post on here for a while, I've been lurking around and admiring everyones finds. But y'all have motivated me to actually get out and start hunting! I will be driving up with my girlfriend from Los Angeles to Ernst Quarries in Bakersfield, CA on March 28th. For people who may not be familiar, this is part of the infamous Shark Tooth Hill, dated to the Miocene at 12-15 mya. It is a pay-to-dig site, and not too bad at $40 for a full day of digging. Is anyone on here planning on going that day or have been recently? How does the quarry look like after all the rain we have been having? Does anyone have any tips on what extra tools that are helpful to bring? From what I have read on here, a Pickaxe is helpful for exposing the bonebed. I will also be purchasing my first Estwing Geologic Hammer (the 22 oz with pick end) for the occasion and also to celebrate finishing my semester of Paleontology. Some brushes are also helpful for cleaning up the teeth in matrix too. Anything else that is suggested? Please feel free to share your Ernst Quarry experiences and advice, if you do feel so inclined I will update the thread with pictures of the results - hopefully we will be able to find some goodies
