Trevor Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Hello fellow forum members, it's Trevor. I am deciding between attending two different colleges, one is near Cleveland, Ohio and the other is near Lewisberg, PA. Fossiling is a large part of my decision. I already know some fern sites in PA and PA is closer to Maryland and Jersey so that's a plus. Can anyone tell me the fossil situation of Ohio or surrounding areas. : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darktooth Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Well this is a new one for me. I have never heard of someone choosing which college to go to, based on what fossil sites are close by , Lol. Sorry I don't have information to help you out but good luck in your endeavors I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erose Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Pretty much the entire state contains fossil-bearing strata. It is better exposed in the SW part of the state and the Allegheny hills of the eastern half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plax Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 preservation of marine fossils is better in Ohio because it didn't get twisted, bent and folded like the eastern appalachians. Most PA marine fossils, at least in the eastern part of the state are casts and molds. Proximity to Mesozoic and Cenozoic sites would be a plus for Lewisburg but it would still be a long ride. Lewisburg area itself has good fossil sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
