The creek had great fossils, including some trilobites.
James Shelton divided his time between breaking rock and surface
collecting.
"Old Fossil" Bob broke rock on pace with the best of the group. He was
kind enough to give me a great specimen.

Tom Bantel. Note the bend in the prybar, which started out straight!
Large stones weighing hundreds of pounds are split into small pieces about the
size of a person's hand or palm in hopes of finding trilobites like the one in
this photo.
Over three days quite a pile of split rock built up
A few nice pieces and a very few complete or nealy complete trilobites were
found (Next 6 photos are some of mine).
The next four photos are of some of the various corals I
found.
And here are some of the Brachiopod types that were collected.
Now see photos from our local field trip for June: Bardstown, KY
