Today I drove three hours south of Chicago to Danville Illinois, to meet up with some ESCONI members to collect a spoil pile from an old shaft mine. This site has Red Dog Shale, gray shale, black shale and concretions. This site is Pennsylvanian in age, about 305 million years old, about 2 1/2 million years younger than Mazon Creek. It was a great day, temperature wise, in the 70’s, but the wind was unbelievable, seems like it always is. I believe there were about 20 people in attendance, which included some FF members. @stats @deutscheben @connorp @Zimmerman2016 and some others. here are pictures as they were taken, they include site shots, member shots and fossils that I found. Continued on next post.

I finely moved out of my old office and have settled into my new one. In the process I kept coming accross more old fossil specimens. I found this one rock I found from the Ordovician of Danville, KY. It was full of Brachiopod fragments covered by Edrioasteroids. They are far from good quality but the unusual thing is how many were on the rock. I have counted 12 with a few that could be but were not preserved well enough to be for sure.
