MAPS 2010 Fossil Show and Sale

Mark — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 22:16:35 +0000

MAPS (Mid-America Paleontological Society) held their annual fossil show and sale in Macomb, IL on March 26 – 28, 2010. I was able to take a number of photos of various fossils. There were not as many insect fossils this year so I did not purchase as much as I had hoped. Here are a few photos that might be of interest to viewers. Don’t forget you can follow the link to Flickr and view these as a slide show (or read their descriptions).

Drummond, MT Fossils

While in the Missoula, MT area, I had the opportunity to look for fossils in the mid-Tertiary lake beds near Drummond, MT. Lots of fine grained shales (many readily split). Ben found a great fossil Hymenoptera. I found a very well preserved leaf along with numerous plant fragments and some midges. The sediments are along a large roadcut north of Drummond. Lots of climbing and splitting of shape to find these specimens.
