connorp Posted December 18, 2019 Posted December 18, 2019 Does anyone have a map demarcating the different Peabody Coal pits in Illinois (i.e. the pits where Mazon Creek fossils are found)? I can't seem to find one online.
Oxytropidoceras Posted December 18, 2019 Posted December 18, 2019 There is an online map with pit numbers in "Mazon Creek Area Paleontology", Department of Paleontology, Smithsonian at: https://naturalhistory2.si.edu/paleobiology/mazoncreek/mazonPaleo.html https://naturalhistory2.si.edu/paleobiology/mazoncreek/_imgMazon/Map3.jpg Yours, Paul H. 8
Oxytropidoceras Posted December 19, 2019 Posted December 19, 2019 The original maps of the pits of coal Mazon Creek can found online as Figure 2, page 16 of; Phillips, T.L., 1973.
