Now's a good time to visit that site since the plants should be mostly dead or dormant and you've had a summer of rains to wash things down. Maybe I'll try for a extended weekend trip out to visit you in the spring before things green up.Shamalamanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3927143376177050152.post-29043973357658973212009-11-25T14:37:55.182-05:002009-11-25T14:37:55.182-05:00Neither, they are being found at private sites.

...Yes, the curves are fantastic on this species. <br /><br />It appears I found part of <i>Brevispirifer</i> that is shown in a August 13, 2009 post. (See http://louisvillefossils.blogspot.com/2009/08/unidentified-devonian-brachiopod.html)<br /><br />Besides the two fossils shown in the pictures, I found 3 other intact brachiopods but have not determined what they are. I also gave away a couple more I found to the person I was collecting with that day.Michael Popphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16741723962997816729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3927143376177050152.post-90758961572647414592009-11-25T06:58:10.937-05:002009-11-25T06:58:10.937-05:00Great specimens and really great pictures.
