markjw Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 I was determined to trace a shale layer into a hillside, and managed it: what a joy to discover more shell imprints. The genus I'm looking for is Rafinesquina, or something similar. Also got some colonies of things and trace fossils out of the muddy creek area. This place is the tip of the Georgian Bay formation that pokes into Oakville. It yields its treasures sparingly and you really have to work for it! The rocks were so heavy...I had a bag of goodies plus 3 heavy slabs...barely made it back to the car. I left 4 spectacular slabs that were too heavy to manage...might go back for them when I feel ambitious. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We who have access to Georgian Bay formation are blessed with interesting fossils. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
