hobbitfeet Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Has anyone been to any of the places on this website? http://dnr.mo.gov/pubs/pub665.pdf Or do you know how to get to any specific places that this website? It takes me awhile to get to the other side of the river so I don't have much time to scour every road cut. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digit Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Not my region of the country so I've never been but looks to be a great resource for pointers to good collecting areas. Well-known collecting sites are (as always) subject to hunting pressure but some sites are so rich that fossils can always be found there (like the St. Leon roadcut in Indiana). Cheers. -Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruitbat Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Here is a link to the publications available from the Missouri Department of Natural Resources. Scroll down the page until you get to the section on Geology. You may find a few more interesting publications on Missouri fossils. -Joe 3 Illigitimati non carborundum Fruitbat's PDF Library Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digit Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 All great information. I need to add Missouri to my bucket fossil bucket list. Cheers. -Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hobbitfeet Posted January 27, 2017 Author Share Posted January 27, 2017 I checked out the salt river location but there aren't any outcrops around there. Although I found a decent spot near Hannibal and the same trip. I plan on checking out the area near Park Hills next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashcraft Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Another great resource is the geology of interstate 55. It gives mile markers and descriptions of the fossils found there. It is available through the MDNR, and probably other sources. Brent Ashcraft ashcraft, brent allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobbitfeet Posted January 31, 2017 Author Share Posted January 31, 2017 I went to some spots between Park Hills and Frankclay. The first stop (closest to Park Hills) was a bust. The next one produced only one trilo-butt. The last one produced at least a dozen trilobite pieces within a half hour and some crinoids but not really any brachs.

hobbitfeet Posted February 17, 2017 Author Share Posted February 17, 2017 I found a good spot west of Allenton that had lots of brachs, some crinoids, gastropods and a few trilobite tails. I didn't find anything north of Eureka. I could only find one good place to park but nothing was there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
