[Rockhounds] Collecting sites request

[Nathan Martin]

Neal,
Hueston Woods State Park in Ohio (north of Cincinatti) has a good assortment
of fossil shells and the last time I was there you could get a map showing
recommended collecting areas at the entrance station.  However, any stream
bed in the park will provide more material than you can carry.

In Indiana there is a roadcut on Route 56 near Salem that has plentiful
geodes with dolomite, calcite and quartz crystals.  I stopped there last
October on my way home from a trip to the Eureka Mine in western KY.

Good luck with your trip!
