Hi everyone this is Matt again. 

Today in the creek I found a fossil slab with a lot of different brachiopods fossils in it. 

Here is a photo:

Hey Matt, nice find! I like group finds like that one still in the matrix alot. 

Continued hunting success!

I like these rocks that are made up mostly of fossils. I’ve seen them referred to as hash plates and coquinas. (Some people use the latter term also for rocks made of many separate mineral chunks cemented together in a matrix. Some people say the matrix needs to be limestone to be considered a coquina.)
