Rhiguita Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 I am heading to Herkimer for a trip soon, and I was wondering if anyone knew any places one could find fossils? I heard some of the mines have stromatolites but I could not find much information on that. I also hear about trilobites near the diamond mines, and I hope to find some, and if anyone has any advice that would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are outcrops of the trilobite layers all along West Canada Creek that runs along Route 28, north of Herkimer. There are numerous fishermen's pull offs, so parking is easy. That is probably your best bet for fossils near Herkimer. Not sure if the Nowadaga Creek is off limits for hunting, but I have heard that it is. 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."
