Hi Dean,

 

Those are gorgeous finds! My son and I are new to fossil hunting, and we gave the Kinzers Formation a shot last weekend. We went to a spot where there is a railroad cut at the intersection of Slaymaker Road and Route 30. We had a good time, but didn't find much after a couple hours of digging except some trace fossils that I posted about because I haven't been able to identify them. Would you mind sharing with me where you were hunting in the Kinzers Formation? The only other exposures that I had heard about were the former Noah Getz quarry (which I had read was filled and built up with housing) and Brubaker Run/Creek. Many thanks!
