ghost1066 Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 I was on a job and had to wait 4 hours for a piece of equipment to show up. While waiting I checked a small exposure at the end of the parking lot. Found some hashplates so I thought I would share. These are ordovician but not sure of the layer, it is just west of Hwy 64 and north of Hwy 41 in Shelbyville TN, maybe 150 yards both directions. The exposed area is less than 100 yards long and maybe 8 feet deep and runs east to west at the end of the parking lot at Josten's warehouse. I found a decent cephalopod laying in the parking lot being run over every day so I rescued it, too. There is plenty still there if I decide to go back and check it again.
