Hello All,

 

I just got back from Irene through the Lizadro Museum.  It is a Dolminite limstone quarry.  The majority of the fossils found were Gastropods not many complete and mostly 1.5 Inch or less in size (Trochonema, Lophospira, Hormotoma…).  I’ve seen two partial Hormotoma 5 to 7 inches long.  Only one partial Trilobit (I think Illoenus ) was found.  Many poeple came up with parts of Receptoculites and few found Horn Coral.  A 7 inch segment of a straight Cephalopod was also found in a bolder.  I would suggest surface hunting first around and on the smaller rock, rock piles before taking the hammer to the bolders. 

 

Happy hunting,

 

Keith
