Trilophilic Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Last weekend I decided to go on my first hunt in 20 years. Been surfing the net (including this forum) looking for sites close to me. Decided to hit the Swatara Gap fossil site (it's the closest one that I know of to me). Was bit disappointed when I got there, as the main site was still under about 6 inches of snow. Decided to go around to the back side, which was a bit sunnier and next to the creek to see what I could find. Definitely looked better. Dug around for about three hours and came up with a few small trilobite pygidia, a few brachiopods and one cephalon and a little bit of trilobite thorax buried in matrix (figuring out how to get it out with out buggaring it up). Not bad I figure for my first time out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trilophilic Posted March 1, 2016 Author Share Posted March 1, 2016 Also wanted to check to see if anyone knew if it was ok to collect at the roadside quarry that sits just west of the 645/443 intersection, before Pine Grove Auto Sales? I didn't see any signage anywhere when I drove past it. Looks like it might be a good site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
