Well, went on the yearly family camping trip, and I didn't do so great fishing, but I cleaned up on the fossils! I looked at a geological map and I think they are Madison limestone, but on the map there is ALOT going on geologically. Found a nice mix of corals, brachiopods, and some Really nice crinoid heads! Not sure if I also got some gastrolith or ammonites....If anyone can tell let me know. And if anyone sees anything uncommon, I would also like to know! Thanks for looking!

Montana. I found this spot about 5 years ago while hiking some rough country. Every time I go back I feel like I find better and better stuff!
