Well I decided to do a REDO from my reports from last week and drove back down to Brookville, Indiana to re-search Garr Hill again with the hopes of finding the other piece to this rare trilobite (Amphilichas halli) portion that I found last Friday, unfortunately, my endeavor was unsuccessful, but fun. While I was in Southern Indiana, I did hit 2 hills in Brookville (Garr Hill and Bon Well Hill), I then headed to South Gate Hill in St. Leon before heading to the hotel. This morning I stopped at the large roadcut in Lawrenceburg and before heading home I made a quick stop again at the South Gate Hill. Both days it was extremely hot +90 degrees and full sunshine. Whenever I am outside collecting I always wear boots, long pants and shirt, gloves and a hat. With all of those close on, I never feel too hot and I am constantly hydrating during the +6-9 hours that I am out collecting each day. Like last week, I did not see any other collectors and I had the place to myself. I did collect multiple hash plates at these sites, I am going to bring them down to my brother so he can place them in his yard. Garr Hill- Brookville, Indiana: Here are a couple pics of the area and some finds. Bon Well Hill- Brookville, Indiana: This area is very steep and with area being very dry it is very difficult to ascend this hill and I will re-visit it later in the year. This hill has a lot to offer but you need to be able to navigate it and not slide down when trying to do so- LOL.

Today I spent about two hours near Lawrenceburg, Indiana collecting some Ordovician fossils. I had a lot of luck with collecting some great looking complete brachiopods that I believe might be Herbertella, but I am going to ask the experts @Herb and @Peat Burns on this formation and see if they can correct any mistakes or unidentified finds. Rafinesquina ponderosa Platystrophia? It was bryozoan heaven today, as shown by some of the pics below. One piece was extremely large. Trilobites Parts ? Gastropods- "Sinuites" Unknown ? And some very nice small hash plates that are probably my favorite fines of the day.
