Second Site
Most of us continued to the second site when we were done, just down the road
from the first. This site had taller cuts with more strata exposed.
The best find at the second site was this great curved cephalopod. It's a very
nice specimen.
Plenty of straight-shelled Nautiloids were also found at the second site.
Crinoids
At the second site, someone found a crinoid holdfast of the type
Lichenocrinus.
Trilobites
Only fragments of trilobites were found at both sites. Here is a nice pygidium
of the large trilobite Isotelus.
