Everybody wants to know your secret place! You can trust me though, where did you make those great finds? I won't tell anyone, and I will see you there!

That first chrinoid stem imprint is really nice. I was out Sunday scouting along the Cedar River here in town, found something that looks like your 2n'd and 3'rd ammonoid specimens. I find tons of fragments of these all in the same place, some large and some small. This particular one looks to be about 2" in diameter. I need to see if I can clean it up and free it from the matrix. Also found a pretty neat little nodule of what I think is iron pyrite on a small piece of grey limestone. I have posted a few fossil finds before, wish more people were interested in this subject.
