Eastonian Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Hi, all. I just returned from a trip to northern Michigan. My wife was kind enough to indulge my fossil-hunting hobby, and I collected specimens in four locations: at a state park in Rockport, a city park in Rogers City, the Lake Huron shoreline in Alpena, and a rare (in Michigan, at least) road cut along a state highway. Here are some of my findings. First is a large Petoskey stone, or Hexagonaria peraninata. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastonian Posted October 10, 2017 Author Share Posted October 10, 2017 The first is not a fossil, but an inorganic limestone dissolution. The second are some road cut rocks with some nice brachiopods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludwigia Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Nice finds. I particularly like your Hexagonaria. Just curious...you have your gender marked as female, but your "wife was kind enough to..." ? Greetings from the Lake of Constance.
