[Rockhounds] Help getting dirty

[Alan Goldstein]

I suggest Hwy 313 north of Elizabethtown, KY. Mississippian fossils and 
geodes (gypsum or calcite depending on the road cut). Hwy 155 and Hwy 44 
around Taylorsville is another great fossil area. If you go to 
www.fallsoftheohio.org, you will find a link to 13 collecting locations in 
Indiana and Kentucky. You should also stop at the Falls of the Ohio State 
Park Interpretive Center and look around. If it is during the week, you 
might even be able to extract me from my computer - although I will be away 
at meetings mid week. The forecast for next week is a bit chilly for this 
time of year, though it is certainly warmer than Michigan!
