Recently, I ran across an interesting blog called “American Fossil Hunt”.  It’s written by Andrew Bach, an ESCONI member.  He details his adventures hunting for Mazon Creek concretions in Pit 11, the Braceville spoil pile, and other nearby locales.  Additionally, there are posts about trips to Florida and California.  His posts include many pictures of fossils and what to expect if you visit the same places. 

He has a book, which has additional material on Mazon Creek.  It’s $25 for both the ebook and a print copy.  It has helpful hints, maps, and descriptions of a few well known localities.  Enjoy!
