This included the classic Latham Shale trilobite site, where we have collected some beauties in past years. We visited again this last weekend after almost two years. The classic collecting spot has been massively excavated back into the more solid shale overlying the weathered, platy exposures that have most of the fossils. It will now take much more exploring and digging along the shale to find productive areas, but they are still there. We have been to these spots numerous times.
