Shuo Wang Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 (edited) Vilpovitsy quarry in St.Petersburg region of Russia is known for its trilobite fossils.

Thanks for your answer. According to this coordinate, there is only a meadow on Google Maps and Google Street View. Is the quarry too small and undetectable?

It seems like the quarry is a secret place where people can't find it easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piranha Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 The Google Map coordinates are correct, but the localities don't show up on a satellite view.
