Went out looking for some fossils last weekend. Found a bunch of these concretions using this guide. Pretty good way to waste an afternoon. Does anyone else know of some decent places in the cities, besides Lilydale?

In this concretion there are a variety of fossils from the Ordovician Period from about 438-505 million years ago. If you look closely you can see Brachiopods, Cephalopods, Bryozoans, Crinoids and probably several other species I haven't identified yet. I bought a few tools to clean these up and maybe dig out some of them too.

If anyone wants to find concretions like that, you should check out Shadow Falls park, right at the end of Summit Ave in St. Paul. The trails to the falls have literally hundreds of fossils. Even a blind man could find them, since every single rock has them.
