Recently several feet of earth where removed in order to build you guys the new over pass next to the Tyson Plant just before exit 73 on Elm Spring Road traveling North. I'm finding fossils daily all over the place without having to look to hard. I dnt have the time to look arnd as much as I would love too but I figured I would share the knowledge with someone who might be as fascinated as I am about these rocks.
