Devonian shale in Ohio

[rie]

Hi everyone, I've recently done some shale collecting near the Rocky River in Ohio. I've found the shale in this area is late Devonian to Mississippian, and is good matrix to look for microfossils. I've collected some smaller material that I'm soaking and freezing to disaggregate, and also some larger material (1-6 inches).

I wanted to know if anyone has had any experience with matrix from this area/from this period and if so are you more successful with smaller or larger material?

Thanks very much!
