ReplyDeleteI happen to hunt similar areas when I'm in the IN/KY area every year or so. I do believe I may have a specimen which I couldn't identify which look similar to the one you showcased in this post.
I found it outside of Louisville in a road cut.
Great blog, keep it up.
I live in Ontario, Canada and have discovered 6 incredible fossils out back behind my building. They are intricate and quite well formed, I have identified them as corals, I believe a few different types but I would love to have a second opinion. I have taken some pictures of the biggest and most intricate one, I believe it is some kind of favosites coral, do you think I could email them to you for a second opinion?
