Are they just on Stephen? Pretty cool. I have dozens of leaf fossils from the shale beds of Pennsylvania coal country.

Hey Dug, they are across the way on Mount Burgess, Field Mountain, etc., but not in the number that they are located on Stephen.....I mean, just tons....when I pulled the permit, I had no idea what they could be so concerned about...until I started walking on them in droves.....a cool place...this is a 6000'++ route, but the main fossil bed is not that far up the trail. Cheers.

That's a phenomenal trilobite!



I found a few trilobites in an interstate road cut some years ago near Chattanooga TN, but nothing in a matrix like that.

""You cannot stay on the summit forever; you have to come down again. So why bother in the first place? Just this: What is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what is above. One climbs, one sees. One descends, one sees no longer, but one has seen. There is an art of conducting oneself in the lower regions by the memory of what one saw higher up. When one can no longer see, one can at least still know.""   --Rene Daumal
