Figure 1. This map shows the general location of most major fossil-bearing bedrock exposures in the state. Fossil locations that consist of shell deposits in "recent" glacial sediments are not shown. These latter deposits are much more common and have a wide geographic distribution in the southern part of the state. Local construction often exposes these sites on a temporary basis.
