Harris Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Obviously, the tetrapod is from the Carboniferous Missippian...out by the old airport...does anyone know where that Casselman formation/Conemaugh Group is? Even though the Fedexia was found in 2004, it would be nice to resume some work and see what else is there...any ideas, any interest? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
