These fossils are fairly common around the Cumberland Plateau of the southern U.S. This photo spans about 2 inches across. If you look closely, you’ll see almost everything in the photo is a fossil!
I'm from Huntsville, Alabama where I work as a Software Engineer and part-time banjo instructor. My wife Miiko and I worship at Rivertree Downtown.
I've been playing various instruments since my teen years. I started mandolin and dulcimer at about age 17 and banjo at 20. I love just about all kinds of music. In terms of banjo styles, I play and teach Scruggs, melodic, clawhammer, and 2-finger styles.
I'm also very keen on theology, being a Trail Care Partner with the Land Trust of North Alabama, photography, urban planning, architecture, astronomy, ATM (amateur telescope making), birding, martial arts, and about 30 other distracting hobbies to a (mercifully) lesser extent.
Thanks!
If you’re ever in Huntsville, Al, you can find that particular rock (with lots more fossils than what was shown) in the Hays Nature Preserve: https://www.google.com/maps/@34.6430423,-86.4658256,20.5z?hl=en at the SE corner of the walkway bridge and the river!
Really like this capture of the Paleozoic fossils.
Thanks!
