Mazon Creek Hunting- Pit 4 on 3-27-21

[Nimravis]

I received an e-mail from a good friend this week asking me if I wanted to go with him and two other of his friends collecting at a place that would fall in the area of Pit 4. Knowing that I always loved the stuff that I had collected in Pit 4 in the past, I decided to go with him to this spot, which was new for me. The weather was great this morning, around 57 degrees and it only sprinkled for about 5 minutes. Since this was a new site for me, I was not as discriminating as I might be in other locations. I only stayed for 2 hours since I have to head home, shower and then drive another hour into the city for my sons 38 Birthday.

 

Once at home and prior to me leaving for the city in a few minutes, I decided to count the concretions. In the 2 hours I collected 239 of them, not including a couple that were open, shown in pics below. I found Annularia, Neuropteris, Calamities and Myalinella meeki open.

 

Here are some scenery pics, another foliage filled place.
