Trilobite Tuesday #30: How to hunt for fossils in Ohio

Here’s a page that lists some places to find fossils in Ohio.  I’m not sure the trilobite on the page is correct… looks like an Elrathia kingii.  The one above is from Ohio and is a Flexicalymene.  But, the page has a nice list of places to go and what you can find.  Trilobites are a big part of what you can find… Check it out!
