jeannie55 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 I am going to be driving through Tulsa tomorrow and remember a few years back finding some fossils on the Grand River. I don’t remember where but I do remember a bridge. It was one of those road trips my husband and I take and he wanted to photograph some birds and while he took the pictures I found a few fossils. I looked through old posts here and found something about 412, Grand River, and power plant. Could anyone give me specific directions? I will name the first fossil I find after the person who can direct me to the river. Thanks so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandpa Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Hi Jeannie, This may help: http://www.findingrocks.com/cgi-bin/viewlocation.cgi?location_id=120 I also found these refs in TFF: @BigGuy said " Check out the area below the bridge at Grand River near the power plant and the camping ares is to the south. If you have a boat you will fill a bag full.There are lots of marine fossils. in the road cuts. We have found trilobites, brachiopods, coral and many other phylum." @sdelano replied " I will second BigGuy's suggestion of the Hwy412 bridge over the Grand River. I have been along the eastern shore of the river and have found a ton of marine fossils in the shale there. " Putting these three references together should get you to the destination. Hope you find some good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a little over two hours away so I will leave early and hunt until my bucket is full or I get too tired. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
