Pennsylvanian

Image
Trip to the Pennsylvanian edge of the Illinois Basin. Sunrise 6:30am Stop no. 1 was the Bond formation behind a cemetery near the border of Indiana. The rocks here contain a rich fauna, however I was mostly looking for rugose corals to make thin sections. Stop no. 2 was mostly for scouting for the black Mecca shales to find shark remains.
