Ordovician Collecting - Lawrenceburg, Indiana

[Nimravis]

After dropping my wife off in Georgia for a couple months, I decided to make a quick stop at a favorite spot of mine in Lawrenceburg, Indiana and do a little Ordovician collecting. I did not collect much on this visit, but kept a couple of the pieces that are shown below, it was just nice to be outside without a coat and to feel the 67 degree temp.

I also stopped for a short time at the Lawrenceburg roadcut to look around a bit.

 

 

 

 

 

Tomorrow I will make a stop at the St. Leon roadcut for a bit before heading home.

That bifoliate bryozoan is beautiful.

I know I've said it before, but if I ever went to this locality or the St. Leon site ( from which I'm currently studying specimens you sent me), wild horses couldn't drag me away. 

I expect they'd be busy collecting brachiopods.

Looks like a great stop. It is so cool that the ground was literally made of fossil sea floor, full of life.

Nice finds Ralph. I need to get up to that site one day, but I’m afraid I’d be like Adam.( @Tidgy's Dad) and wild horses wouldn’t be able to drag me away! My wife and kids might miss me!

They are my favorite too. I see them as a snapshot in time.
