It's too bad my picture is out of focus. This is a really nice grouping of more than 10 Rusophycus (Flexicalymene burrows).

And now for the MINERAL FINDS! Here's a nicely formed Pyrite crystal sitting right on top of a shale nodule. For more information on Pyrite and other minerals, contact the Cincinnati Mineral Society, our sister group at http://mineralsociety.org/
