Hey guys, it's Adventure Van here with a blog about Penn Dixie Fossil Park. Penn Dixie Fossil Park, is, unsurprisingly, a fossil park, but what a fossil park is is something else. Penn Dixie used to be a surface shale mine, but was being put up for auction by the city. A preservation society known as Hamburg Natural History Society bought it due to the heavy influx of fossils that haven't run out over the tens of years of bringing in large groups of people to discover large collections of fossils from over three hundred sixty million years ago. From trilobites to coral, including some species that I hadn't recognized, especially the Crinoidea, which is a sea lily that has a stem that is a perfect circle and breaks into disks cleanly.
