Nimravis Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Today a spent a little time collecting at a favorite spot in the Lawrenceburg, Indiana area, tomorrow I might hit the Lawrenceburg roadcut or AA Highway in Kentucky. Here are some pics of the area and the fossils that can be found, I only kept a select few. This location has a ton of bryozoan, as you an see from the pics below.

Mark Kmiecik Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Thanks for the tour, as always. Looks like the easiest way to collect that site would be a shovel and six 55-gallon drums in the back of a 3/4-ton pickup. Maybe a vacuum cleaner. I love the brachiopods. 1 Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So true- and I just made a quick stop, if I put real time in, I could collect a ton of stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FossilDAWG Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Looks like a fun place to spend several hours. I think the first "crinoid" is actually a group of Cornulites tubes. Don 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeymig Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 This one will turn out nice once reassembled. Cleaned by nature. Do you have the pieces to this Bryozoan colony? If so it would be neat to see how it comes together. 1 Many times I've wondered how much there is to know. led zeppelin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 (edited) Splendid finds, Ralph, and great location shots as always. Love the group of Cornulites flexuosus, and the bit of nautiloid covered in Atactopora. Or is it Spatiopora, I can never remember. Edited May 24, 2022 by Tidgy's Dad 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend.
