Fossil trip Chattanooga, TN

Recommended Posts

I recently made my way down to my local creek in a suburb oh Chattanooga, TN. I've always thought I was hunting in Ordovician limestone, but now I'm pretty convinced I'm hunting in early Mississippian chert due to a few species I've found at this location. I didn't take pictures of what I consider my more "rare" finds but once I get a chance to I'll post them on this thread.

 

I mainly find crinoid stems at this location, but I sometimes find rugosa corals, which are more uncommon.

I'm from Chattanooga/Ringgold.  Wish I could remember where I used to find those crinoid stems as a kid! I remember finding a lot.   I'd hook you up.  

 

I'm pretty much a shark tooth guy and these don't really turn my crank but If it ever comes to me where we would find those I'll let you know.
