MeisTravis Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 (edited) Hey everyone, This is my second post hopefully I can get some answers on these! I found these in a town called Tunkhannock in Northeastern Pennsylvania in part of a mountainous area. They were just in some shale I was breaking up. Any kind of research I’ve done says there’s really not much for fossils in that area. Any ideas?? Thanks in advance friends! 1 2 3 Edited August 5, 2018 by MeisTravis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
