21 Apr 2026 at 3:10pm
Hi All, Was in Nashville, TN for several days for a bachelor party! Had an amazing time enjoying music, food, way too many drinks, and even managed to squeeze in a fossil hunt! We had to Uber everywhere, so I picked a somewhat convenient spot, which just so happened to be a Target parking lot. Th...

The Lower Pinecrest Beds, Tamiami Formation
20 Apr 2026 at 10:35pm
Three million years ago the Mid-Piacenzian warming stage was in effect for South Florida.

Limestone fossils near Huntsville, AL - The Fossil Forum

The fossils that have been identified so far are fenestella, bryzoan, crinoid. And I think the word fossiliferous was also used? I am a photographer by trade and macro photography is my FAVORITE, so I will post plenty of photos. This particular rock is a very small one compared to most of them.

With the help of Ludvigsen's 1986 paper entitled "Reef trilobites from the Formosa Limestone (Lower Devonian) of southern Ontario," along with Google Maps' Satellite View, I was able to locate the reef, so Viola and I made the 2-hour drive yesterday to search the site for some new fossils.
