2023 Northwest Illinois Rock Club Show

[Nimravis]

Today I got up early and drove 1 hour and 45 minutes (118 miles), one way, to Freeport, Illinois’ Eagle Club for the last show of the season presented by the Northwest Illinois Rock Club’s Show. This show runs Saturday and Sunday.

 

 

 

This is a very small show, but I like to go, because you never know what you can find. Unfortunately, I did not find any fossils that I wanted, but I bought a number of pieces of obsidian, here is a piece of Mahogany Obsidian, this piece is about the size of a 16” softball. I picked up this piece for $8.00, a great price.

 

Here are some pictures of fossils, one vendor has some nice stuff from Lebanon and Solnhofen. He showed me a few larger pieces that he had boxed up, very nice pieces, unfortunately I did not think about taking pictures.
