Joseph Fossil Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Hi! Me and @Tales From the Shale are actively thinking of going on a fossil hunting trip in Alton Illinois (right by St. Louis, Missouri) this week to analyze the Mississippian period St. Louis limestone and I'm wondering if anyone else has gone down there? https://www.mindat.org/feature-4232679.html We're specifically looking for fossils of the Meramac group and though we have a quarry or two, we're thinking of also checking out any road cuts in the area. I'm wondering before we go on the fossil hunt (likely this Saturday), could anyone offer some info on any good road cuts in the Alton area as well as quarries and if there are also a descent amount of fossils in the Spergen limestone too?
