Fossils

Dorms are being built on the Indiana University Southeast (IUS) toward the back of campus. Behind one of the administration buildings there are some large boulders they have piled up. They might be limestone but they contain different fossils. Here is the close up of one of the surfaces that contain a snail (right side of picture) and coral branch (left side of picture).


Here is a trilobite tail I found in a quarry in Jeffersonville while in geology class. It broke apart when I was cleaning it so I glued it back together. This must have been a large trilobite if this is just the tip of its tail.
