What an AMAZING Group Hunt! May 14, 2016
This was the first Eagle Bluff Environmental Center Skills School group hunt of 2016, and it was GREAT! Nine participants plus the EBEC bus driver, hailing from the Twin Cities down to Decorah, Iowa and parts in between and west. And what did they like best? THE FOSSILS! So I think I will start out … Continue reading
Wolffish & Old Bev Go Hunting
Wolffish PMed (private messaged) me that he was going to be out this way with a free afternoon and wanted to hunt the Ordovician. WONDERFUL! I love to meet new people and go fossil hunting! When he got here, I gave him a short tour of the fossils we may find. Ah, he’s hunted extensively … Continue reading
Masonic Park Hunt Late April 2014
Apologies, as I have not been posting my hunts this year – just so busy! đŸ™‚ But for the next one to make sense (and as an apology to Wolffish as to what I got him into) these pictures might make some sense. It was a late April day with temps in the 60s, sunshine, … Continue reading

Of Floods & Fossils – Masonic Park, Spring Valley
I decided to do a lunch break fossil hunt as it was threatening to rain with a low rumble of thunder in the west. Masonic Park is only 3 or 4 miles northwest of Spring Valley and I had read about it, but never actually hunted it. I didn’t have high expectations because the water … Continue reading
“Beach” Hunt on Cty. 8
I think I have found a new favorite place to hunt fossils close to home! This is a rocky outcrop (I would call it a sandbar, but there is really no sand.) on Cty. 8 about 7 miles east of Spring Valley. Perhaps 2 miles west of Fillmore. The closest marker I could come … Continue reading
Farmer’s Community Park Hunt – Winona County
You will know this when you see it! A quarter plus mile long maybe 100’+ high road cut right on Hwy. 14 between Stockton and Lewiston (above the Arches), and right across from Farmer’s Community Park. You can see the Jordan Limestone and everything above it, which I’m thinking is the Galena Formation, but I could … Continue reading
