Christina K Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Hi everyone- i'm new to this but found a large fossil in my hedgerow today../ was hoping someone may be able to ID it for me. It's about 2" long and almost 1" wide. Quite deep. I live on a 20 acre farm in Rush NY near the Genessee River. I've got 2 long hedgerows that have been there since the 1800s., farmers have been throwing rocks that the plows turn up in them all this time. I've never seen one like this. Can anyone help? Kind regards, Christina 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
