Fossils along the Notikewin River in Northern Alberta

Has anyone in this group even been up this far north in Alberta? I have an idea of location and will report back after my journey.

So, we started today driving north from Stony Plain to a spot 1/2 hour north of Valleyview on the Little Smoky. Many Baculites pieces found laying in the fractured shale along the rivers edge. Each new rain or flood exposes and/or washes away many baculites pieces.  Tomorrow we head to the Notikewin River northeast of Manning, Alberta

The trip was a resounding success. Weather was perfect. Will show more fossils once I've worked on them a bit.

I've spend a bit of time bringing out the best in a couple pieces. Scaphites & Inoceramus.

Nice fossils, and from a location very few of us will ever get to see in person. :wub: Do you happen to know the species of Scaphites and Baculites?

Scaphites depresses, but I'd have to have a better specimen to determine baculites species. Ridges are not as defined as I'd hoped.
