diabeticwolf Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Hello, I live in Omaha, Nebraska and am looking to go fossil hunting soon (possibly tomorrow). I have Schramm Park listed as a place to visit (my Geology Professor recommended it), but I was wondering if there were any other locations in and around the area? The park is located in Gretna, NE, but I was curious if anyone knows of any locations near Ashland, South Bend, Weeping Water, etc.? I have a rock hammer, so I am equipped to be able to split rocks, and would love to be able to find locations to do so. I have visited a rock quarry in Crescent, IA before, but they are only available on weekends due to blasting. I am probably going with my Dad tomorrow (as long as the weather holds); he works nights and his nights off are Wednesdays and Thursdays. Any recommendations? I hope to find fish and trilobites (which my professor said are found more often south of Omaha), since I have a ton of Brachiopods and other shells already, but I am open to finding plants and other fossils. I'm just looking for exposures, creeks, or quarries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Wondering if you ever found any sites in NE? I am headed out that way in the summer and would love to do some collecting! Please PM me so I don't miss your response. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
