Maybe you could also hit that fossil park in Rockford, Iowa. It's a cool place too with lots of fossils everywhere. Have you been there? It's close to the IL border. Had been there twice.

Daveallen10 Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Its unfortunate this site is closed to the public. I would have liked to see it, however I can expect some specimens have or will end up in a museum in or near Chicago...probably in a box somewhere...

Dave Bowen Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Wow, what an awesome discovery! That would be a site to see in person. Dave Bowen Collin County, Texas. Paleontology: The next best thing to time travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCFossils Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I went to a lecture by one of the guys involved with the find. A few smaller pieces have been collected but most of the material is being left in the mine. Unfortunately the mine will eventually be collapsed for safety reasons and all of the beautiful fossils will be covered over by several hundred feet of rock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately the mine will eventually be collapsed for safety reasons and all of the beautiful fossils will be covered over by several hundred feet of rock I don't understand why they wouldn't take some of the better samples and preserve them before they collapse the mine. Would be a shame to waste such pristine samples. Dave Bowen Collin County, Texas. Paleontology: The next best thing to time travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest solius symbiosus Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Any sites related Penn exposures on the western flank of the Appalachians should provide relevant information. Then, that entire part of the country was composed of deltaic lobes associated with outwash from the proto-Alleghenian Mountains. Hence, the coal in Il, Ky, In, WV, Va, Pe, ... ect.
