15. I do too. The limestone here is around 400 million years
old, so we have trilobites (Flexicalymene and Isotelus fragments) everywhere. We have a huge exposed Devonian bed at the falls of the Ohio across from Louisville. They won't let you take specimens there.




Falls of the Ohio. Used to do a lot of fishing there. Lot of channel cats there.


The Camp Nelson Fault, south of Lexington is a great place to find fossils. Look at the clay banks below the I 75 bridge over the Kentucky River, south of the river. A fault line is exposed. The clay banks are good because the rain exposes more fossils over time.
