This video should have more likes for how often it's viewed. C'mon fossil lovers! Step it up.

I would suggest backing up all of your videos on Rumble as well.

Paint Creek state park (Ross county) spillway area has a huge wall with many ocean fauna fossils.

What did you find there?

I'm a few years behind but I have some questions about micro fossils. Would hunting in streambeds by cliffs in Ashtabula, Lake, and Geauga Counties be with trying to find any in?

@TheOhioDNR 2 года назад

Rocks in Lake, Geauga, and Ashtabula counties are Late Devonian to Late Carboniferous (Pennsylvanian) in age, and were deposited in a range of environments, from shallow marine to terrestrial. Most contain microfossils. In the marine, organic-rich, black Ohio Shale along Lake Erie, microfossils include teeth-like elements of conodonts (extinct jawless vertebrates) that are extensively used as index fossils, and spores from Protosalvinia, an early plant or possibly an alga. Deltaic and riverine deposits of other formations within those counties contain palynomorphs, including pollen and spores from terrestial plants. These microfossils do not usually survive erosion from the rock (and would lose their context), so they are collected by examining the whole rock or are extracted using special procedures to disaggregate or dissolve the rock. Microfossils are often ignored by amateur collectors- but the smaller you look, the more fossils you will find!
