@flyingscience I think the evidence is overwhelming. 71 percent of the earth is under water as we speak and of the remaining 29 percent, most is covered in sediments containing the fossil record.

Man, I live in Indiana and now I'm planning to go next summer. So I would like to find out the location of it! It looks like fun!

@vulcan1429 Got similar going on in my backyard right now. Lots of late Carboniferous seafloor with tones of brachiopods, crinoids, and bryozoans, all being hauled out to expand US 69 here in Overland Park, KS. If I had a place to clean some of these beauties they'd all be going to Ebay.

Guys, I am so damn jealous of you. What a great way to spend a weekend off. When you process your finds, do you use a chemical bath, and how does that get them out of the matrix without damage?

We simply clean with toothbrush to get mud off. I brake off the excess rock .You cant get it all off .There are enough clean ones to not mess with chemicals.
