- We travel to the famous Fern Glen Formation just south of St. Louis, Missouri. This fossil-rich series of layers of limestone and shale (Burlington Limestone/Fern Glen) is exposed in eastern and southeastern Missouri and contains an abundance of brachiopods, crinoids, rugose corals, and bryozoa (including the famous "star bryozoa" (radiata)).

Awesome finds, I have thousands of world class horn corals and crinoid fossils, and maybe the largest horn coral in the world,all of them ,I just surface pick them, it's untelling how much more,is under the dirt, when I start digging for them
Another great episode Randy and Chase! Thanks for sharing and keep em coming.
Thanks, Spike! You guys are a great encouragement.
Amazing the fossils you have found. I have a few large rocks I found in a creek. Just beautiful.
Creek hunting can be very rewarding. Sometimes crystals, sometimes fossils...we even have a creek nearby that has geodes.
Dang I waited 2 years to visit this place, finally stopped there after collecting druzy at haunted ridge. There's purple paint all along the treeline. Didn't see any no trespassing signs, only saw the paint, but we all know what that means.
When I was a kid, I used to collect random rocks that looked interesting. One day, I was walking by a lake (don’t remember where), and picked a grey rock. When I picked it up, I inspected it, not really expecting anything. To my surprise, there were a few shells. I was so happy to say the least. I ended up taking home the rock, but never did anything with the hunk of rock k found. However, after midway through middle school my fascination with the past almost entirely stopped. Recently, however, my fascination has come back 10 fold. This video reminded me of the rock I found.
I'm in Oklahoma and fall under this territory as well, thank you so much for this video
woohoo!! love these videos
Thank you for the encouragement! We are hoping to release many more videos soon. Spread the word!
Wow, you were right in our backyard
Hopefully we weren't too noisy. :)

Young people are so funny. Being embarrassed by your opening comment. 😂
What parking lot did you park in?
Apparently some of this land has been privately purchased. You may want to contact the city of Imperial to determine what areas are still open for collecting.
@@rockhoundingusa8207 Do you if anyone has any luck finding out if there are areas still open for collecting?
Can you say too what type of fossil they are such as (carbonized, mold, or petrified)? Thank you in advance!
They are mainly calcified.
I have several pieces of what appears to be coral found north of Columbia missouri and want to identify them
A great place to post fossil pics for identification is The Fossil Forum.
