kirkjeremiah23 Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 I'm currently at Fort Knox Kentucky for about 6 weeks and am interested in doing some fossil hunting while I am here. Does anyone know where I can find some cool stuff? Hoping for trilobites! Any info would be awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
