  1. Right up there with the Conasauga Shale further north, the Late Eocene Tivola Limestone is a formation that has become one of my absolute favorites to hunt over the course of my visits to the formation. 2 months ago I went there and got a good series of photos and as always good finds, but I neglected to actually post a proper field trip report. It was the first time in a good while that I had gone fossil hunting, something that I had been absolutely craving for a while in the midst of a sea of university exams that lied ahead in the coming month. When we arrived at the always reliable abandoned cement quarry I had one particular idea in my mind for my gameplan; I wanted to see the other side of it. Most of the visits I've paid to this site I'd only really stayed to one side of it while collecting, so I didn't give myself much of a chance to see what the whole of the pit had to offer. I also had the idea to take some photos of the walls of the quarry itself, as you can see the fossilized fauna embedded in the walls just about everywhere you looked, be it the Periarchus pileussinensis sand dollars or the Chalmys spillmani scallops that are so plentiful in these rocks: As is always the case with this formation, I had many nice Periarchus and Chlamys to show for my efforts by the end of my visit, one of which happened to be the first double piece of Periarchus I've found here so far:
  2. Boy have I been away for a good bit. Quite a lot has happened since! Hope everyone's doing all right all things considered! Seeing the calamity the world is in the throes of, I decided to head out Saturday before the zombie apocalypse truly took hold here in GA. With social distancing and whatnot in effect, the options are quite limited as far as recreational activities. Thankfully, everyone's favorite activity, finding the rock-encrusted remains of life long gone is something that can be done away from prying eyes, particularly the Tivola Limestone site in Perry GA that I visited last year that produces those gorgeous Periarchus sand dollars and Chlamys scallops. After a quick pit stop at a hazmat-ified Chick-fil-A and a nice drive to Perry, we found ourselves at the site for the second time. After a short walk through mild vegetation, the abandoned quarry came into view: The rock that made up the walls seemed to be significantly darker than what we observed our first time around, a result of extended exposure to the elements. After a few early finds on top of the pit's edge, we made our descent inside via a small and less steep slope hugging a portion of the wall. In the pit, 2 hours were sunk into searching. The result: a decent haul, with a lot of prep-ables. The first thing I picked up was perhaps my favorite: an in-situ Periarchus pileussinensis that was mostly whole, with a number of small cracks visible that served to put a kind of emphasis on its age.
  3. Hello again, my fossiling friends! It has been quite some time, between graduation, moving, and preparing for a vacation to Sicily to watch active volcanoes do their thing, schedule's been pretty loaded. Since the last time we talked, I was able to fit a visit to Dalton/Chatsworth before school ended, but I never got around to posting it. Ever since I was able to talk to Thomas Thurmon at my last PAG meeting, we were looking to hit the Tivola Limestone in Perry GA as he has had experience with it before. After a rain-induced postponement the week prior, we were able to make the trip this past Saturday, and boy did the Tivola not disappoint. We arrived on the roadside to pleasant weather and a short hike to the main area. Loggers had recently been in the area, as evidenced by a number of downed trees lying around. As we hiked, it didn't take long for Thurman and I to start finding Periarchus bits to take with us (while my step-grandpa was bewildered by how quickly we could spot them ). After emerging from what was left of the forest, we had a view of our destination: Being a long since abandoned quarry, the area was huge and quite a sight to behold. Thurman guided us to an access point where we could climb down to the best of the Tivola goodness, picking up Pectens and Periarchus along the way. The inside of the pit had a huge array of goodies, with Pectens, Periarchus and more in good supply. Cont.
