    I acquired this set of plates at a Dry Dredgers silent auction several years ago. From the iconic Cincinnati Fossils red book – an excellent primer and guide to the local rocks and fossils! #fossil

    • There was a point in time when the contents of this book was all I knew about the fossils of Cincinnati Ohio, despite living here all my life. This elementary guide is often the starting point for Cincinnati fossil hunters in obtaining vast knowledge from an growing interest in fossils fueled by the good illustrations, identification keys and excellent descriptions found in “Cincinnati Fossils”. The question is – will we see a current edition or subsequent edition ever again published and sold in a retail store?

    • @bheimbrock – I used this book constantly during my MS! It’s such a great resource. When I was posting I tried looking it up online, there is someone selling them on amazon but I would want the money to go to CMC. I would buy a new edition in a heart beat! I’m sure it will eventually happen but who knows when.
