Mr_billy_bob Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 So I've had a post before asking this but, does anyone know any fossils sites near Minneapolis, I know there is Lilydale, but it's currently closed, I don't care if it's a ditch next to a road, or if you need a permit I just want to know LEGAL fossil sites that I can go to, hunt, collect and leave! Thank you for the help! If you want, check out my Paleontology Flipboard Magazine: https://flipboard.com/@jacksoncoop2015/paleontology-90jlk5riy THANKS FOR CHECKING IT OUT!

minnbuckeye Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 (edited) How far from MPS are you willing to travel? The corridor from MPS to Cannon Falls to Rochester has fossiliferous areas. From Rochester south and east gets even more interesting. Let me know. Also check out Bluff Country Fossils website as a great starting point Edited August 3, 2015 by minnbuckeye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minnbuckeye Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 The Mississippi bluffs along the University of Minnesota have Plattville caps which contain fossils. Fort Snelling area is similar. North of Stillwater near the west end of Osceola Bridge. Wangs Corner In Goodhue County offers great collecting out of the Cummingsville/Galena formation. As Auspex pointed out, Bev is the local SE Minnesota guru. She is the person behind Bluff Country Fossils. Good luck in your collecting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
