FOH Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Last summer, I took a trip to North and South Lake campgrounds for a casual camping trip. While there, I snooped around my camp site and found these nodules filled with shells. What I was wondering was if these fossils actually came from the site I was at or if the rocks were imported to outline the camping grounds. North and South Lake campgrounds is here: The fossils look like this: Thank you for your time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caldigger Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Cant tell you of the true origins of your piece, but that is a real nice "showy" brach hash plate. Did you only find a couple? I would think if it originated from that location they would be lots of them scattered all around there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I searched around the campsite for more and found about 5 in total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most probably native to that location. Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erose Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Devonian would be the period. But would need to zero in tighter with a geologic bedrock map to nail the formation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
